Im sure that abandoned tanks make great landfill when it comes to repairing bomb crater damage in fields and streets. Saves on shoveling and takes care of disposing of the tank. Stuarts did not fare too well in the European theater, so I doubt US forces were in a great hurry to salvage it for continued use.
But I agree that this time they should do something befitting the sacrifice the crew probably made before having to leave it behind.
