Sept. 3) -- When the Rev. Jesse Jackson led a rally for "green jobs" in Detroit, he arrived in the Motor City in a massive Cadillac SUV. But his exit from the Motor City was a lot more environmentally friendly -- thanks to some car thieves.

 

The robbers stole the civil rights activist's rented 2009 Escalade SUV on Monday. He was in Detroit for Saturday's Jobs, Justice and Peace Rally in downtown Detroit.

 

"We were traveling for Jobs, Justice and Peace and we came [outside the hotel] next morning and it was gone," Jackson told AOL News today in a phone interview. "It was obvious that it was stolen."

 

The Rev. Jesse Jackson at the Rebuild America: Jobs, Justice and Peace march last month in Detroit.Police found the car later that day, stripped of its wheels but otherwise intact, WXYZ reported.

 

Jackson, who led the march along with United Auto Workers President Bob King, said there was nothing contradictory about renting an SUV and promoting green jobs.
