Because this wouldn't happen with trains ??

Or boats. Ya know, how they got here.

Anyway, I wasn't aware this was even a question. We got hit pretty hard with these a few years ago, and it was standard advice to check your car before heading out. Three years later, I hardly see them at all anymore. Something probably figured out that they were yummy.
