Default Totally Gutted - Arson

Bank holiday weekend (4th of May) - had a knock on the door Old bill there.

Are you the owner of a blue Subaru

Car had been torched - houses opposite had to be evacuated CID now - involved as there was endangerment to life.

A similar incident occurred locally police are seeing if linked.

Just be wary out there

Sunday Morning has a knock on the door answered to find a copper and this

Some people have no respect for others things. If there is a next time let's just hope that the car blows up in their face the d**. Hope your insurance don't mess you around and you can get a another nice car.

I saw this on the back of a lorry on the M20 the other day. Was heading off coast bound with a load of other damaged cars. First thing I thought was, why didn't he take the front mount off before it was crushed.

Hopefully karma will catch up with them mate.

Stating the obvious, that's a write off.

I really feel for the OP here. An act of supreme idiocy. The fire has done a number on the Passat too, the front of that engine can't be looking too good.

Points to consider - you may have been targeted by someone jealous, or someone who has just noticed a car that stands out. Also, are there any people nearby who don't like Subarus? Bit of a big exhaust that might have offended a neighbour? Could just be a local nutter or gang with nothing better to do with their pathetic lives.

In many of these cases it's always a loss to the victim even with insurance etc. Try and take the positives from this such as getting a better car out of it. Might be worth getting the new car parked in a garage or somewhere with CCTV on it.

Hope it all gets sorted.

Can't believe you never heard sirens or saw the fire do you park a lot further down the street from your own front door did this upset someone?

I've had two cars vandalised in the past, neither at my home and neither by anybody who's had any past relationship/knowledge of me.

Luckily(?) the offender got "caught" on both occasions, one was a minor who couldn't be charged so I was left £1000 out of pocket.

The "you must have pissed somebody off" thing is rarely accurate, and it's quite irritating/hurtful to be told it when you've just lost your Pride and Joy when you're an innocent victim.

Hope you have a good experience with insurance, and hopefully it's a one off.
