Good morning, Daily Money friends, it's Nathan back after a few days off!

I heard this over the weekend, and it's still mind-boggling: The limited number of fans allowed to attend the Olympics in Tokyo will be prohibited from cheering.

On to our ... 

💡 INSIGHT OF THE DAY: Thieves are targeting the Chevrolet Malibu to steal airbags. Apparently Malibu's steering wheel is easy to remove, making it a prime target. This reminds me of a story I wrote in 2018 about how Hondas were becoming targets of airbag thefts. Here's a thought: Maybe the auto industry should make these things harder to swipe. BTW, because of the thriving black market for airbags, never buy one from a third-party retailer. Get it from a certified dealer or reputable repair place. 

📰 And here are more stories you won't want to miss:

1. Today is Day 2 of Amazon Prime Day. Here's what you need to know.

2. Walgreens announced a COVID vaccine incentive: How does $25 in store credit sound?

3. Companies are playing down price hikes.Smart investors need to embrace them

4. This is a tough one: How should bosses handle an employee with poor writing skills and email etiquette?

5. Is a Roth IRA right for you? Ask yourself these two questions to find out.

6. "They eat like a wing, but with more meat": Wingstop launches Thighstop amid chicken wing shortage.

A "thighstop" sounds like something a goalie would do in hockey.
