Arsoned

Took the footage to the police yesterday morning, no word back from them yet. I'll go down there tomorrow arvo if I hear no more.

We're pretty innocent people apart from being into hunting, so it's not a drug feud or anything like that.

I dont quite get this the neighbours were up at 2.12 am and videoed someone lighting you car up. They didnt yell out, they didnt come out and tell the Police when they arrived. There would have been quite a racket with fire engines, police ,not to mention he fire itself. Maybe someone has a problem with your neighbour. Was the car parked more in front of their place? :(

Mistaken caridentity !

I think it may have come across that they were standing there taping it sorry.

Our neighbours have security cameras on their house

This is on the night, I had my phone on me as most teenagers do and grabbed a quick snap, still not quite sure if I was awake or not.

Here is the interior, dash effectively hollowed out as the fire traveled through the wiring loom. From the front it looks like it isn’t bad, but looking inside its knackered. The A pillar trim all melted, but the airbag stayed perfectly intact.

This one is where the fire would have started, with all the trim and wiper panel gone. The brake reservoir was basically gone, in a melted mess as you’d expect.

On the top of the bonnet you can see where the accelerant flashed and burnt the paint off, as opposed to the bubbling of the slow burn afterwards.

The bonnet and grille were all ruined by the firefighters using the jaws of life to open the bonnet when extinguishing the fire.

Both front airbags popped, or the air lines burnt, leaving the front on the bumpstops. When the car was towed, the wheel liner that had melted onto the tires ripped off. Worth noting that the Yoko Geolanders didn’t give in despite having hot goo all over them. Probably wouldn’t want to run them now though. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...015/04/387.jpg

And finally, the bush 3 doors down which was set on fire at the same time as the car, despite being ‘not suspicious’

Mongrels! :mad:

Sorry to hear about the car. I hope the insurance settles quickly. We're in a relatively quiet street as well and in recent years I've had the driver's side mirror smashed off a Honda Civic, a key run down the driver's side of the Disco and neighbours have had their number plates stolen. I suspect the culprit lives down the street a bit but we haven't caught them in the act.

It is a different world to even 10 years ago.

It really does make you wonder! Contemplating a similar security system to our neighbour as a bit of insurance/deterrent. $250-300 can set you up quite well.

My brothers house a rental in Perth caught fire a couple of years back. He was at work. The fire brigade got there very quickly and put it out but the smoke damage ment the whole place needed repainting & renovating. All his personal stuff was ruined. They blamed it on a fish tank light even though it still worked the aircon unit was all melted and his leather couch bore the brunt of the fire.
Lots of his stuff was thrown around the house and a few things went missing never to be found. Yet it was not suspicious . He had to move out find another place . The house was quicly renovated & sold in time to make the most of the Booming Perth property market. He had a lease but that went out the window. No one knows who reported the fire . I have a good idea.:(

feel your pain Mitch...

Some **** set fire to my house this week - suspicious house fire

What the hell is going on???
