Car Torched

[Ted]

A car was just set alight behind my place. The streets power went out first and not long after the inferno was flickering through the windows. Considering there is a nature reserve behind us, lucky only the car went up and nothing more.

I didnt get pics of the fire, I didnt even think to do so, but will get a couple tomorrow. I just feel sorry for the owner of the car.

I wonder why the power went out?  Was the car torched, or did it crash into a pole and catch alight?

nah mate I think they might have collided with a power box on the way in (or it was a coincidence?). They had to drive through a kids playground to get where they ended up.
Car was deliberately lit though.

At around 10:30
The power went out in My street also, this may be why.

Insurance job, or removal of evidence involved in a crime?

 

[Ted]

not sure mate, but i cant see it being an insurance job going by the car.

The youth of today eh? Surely there are better things to do then light cars on fire?

At the end of my street there's a small patch of bush and there must be over half a dozen burnt out cars strewn throughout there - the bush itself used to go up several times a summer, hasn't for years now though.

Also, my RFS brigade trains at the quarry near the Bulls Hill speed camera.  There's an old section there which is pretty wide and flat, with a dam in there.  There's a good few burnt out cars in that section too - as well as the occasional time we see a not-so-burnt-out car bobbing in the dam

I guess threads like this serve to remind us that there are idiots out there who do steal cars, and it could just as easily have been any of our cars.

Personally, I think the punishment for this should be to get everything the perpetrator owns, put it all in a pile, and make him watch it burn.  Tit for tat.

Looks like a Nissan N13 Pulsar made between 1987 and 1990.

I heard something about a life saving club being broken into last night. Not sure where or when exactly, but they might be related?? Might be the getaway car.

It is fairly unique looking too.

Nah, if it were me it would have been backwards, upsidedown and on fire; I don't do things by halves

I'm just upset that someone would set fire to a 'Yellow' car.

would you have spray-painted on the side "scums title hopes"-up in flames.

It was originally tha shit brown of the Jets, which is just a combination of a normal brown and yellow.

The cleansing power of fire simply purged the poo particles off the car, revealing the more pure yellow particles
