Prius Drive By

I was watching the 3rd season of Weeds and Nancy ends up driving for a drive-by shooting in her Prius. The thug U-Turn liked the car because it's so quiet that you can sneak up on people unlike with non-hybrids. U-Turn bought 7 Priuses for him & his boys. I'm surprised that we haven't heard more about this phenomenon in the news. Is the fact that the Prius aesthetic doesn't jive with a Chevy riding high enough to outweigh its merits in the sneaky arena? Is this happening and nobody wants to do a story on it? Sounds like a good idea to me.
