Default Fire at Garage

got a phone call 5am...(10-26-08) the row of garages where i keep my camaro is on fire.


arson, someone tried to burn down the garage across the street last month, last week the garage nextdoor to him, now the row of garages where my camaro is stored.
I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE PREVIOUS FIRES!!



car covered in soot, some tar/rubber melted on the pass side roof, glass, door, & 1/4...


Im lucky i didnt have the car cover on the car, or it would have caught on fire from the dripping hot roof tar/rubber.

I "had" a set of spark plug wires(Taylors) still in the box on top of a metal parts cabinet. they are ashes and melted wires now.




the cabinet was about 18" from the cars pass side door.





After a bath with prepsol and a quick wash with dawn dish soap & water...


on trailer, getting ready to go to new home (safe garage)....

Since i have a few Porsche race cars 935's and 962's and the community is small I just got a call about one of the 962 being stored in a storage facility that burned down last week... sounds like an epidemic...I know Hagerty did not have it insured , I hope the guy did or bye bye to 800K . Totally suck ! Glad your car came out of it well.

Holy Sh###!

That really sucks, but thankfully, nobody was injured?

What ever sick twisted person is responsible for this needs to be held responsible.
