I don't thank inanimate objects, but animals are OK. I have several tanks of freshwater fish. When one dies, I dispose of it outside and thank it for being my fish and hope that I have provided it a good life. Something went through my 30 gallon tank and in 2.5 days I lost all the fish (except the 10 year old pleco) about 18 fish. Some of the loaches I had for more than five years. It made me sick looking at the dead fish lined up with their eyes and mouths open. It made me sick :-( I do no thank my bikes or my car.
