    Arsoned

    Well today was a sad day.

    At 2:12 AM last night, my beloved L322 was the victim of a random arson attack. we were on the scene within 10 mins, responding to the cars alarm going off with the car parked on the nature strip. however it was too late as the car was already buggered.

    3 Fire engines and 2 police cars later (as well as a neighbours garden being lit) and the police deemed that the incident was 'Not suspicious'. To me, two fires, at the same time, in one quiet street seems to be the definition of suspicious.... Police and CFA deemed the car had a serious electrical fault which set the car alight.Regardless, we had full insurance on the car.

    Today after seeing my neighbours, we have spotted someone pouring an accelerant on the car out of a plastic jerry can, and then lighting it. whilst the video isn't clear, it is certainly suspicious!!!

    Will be taking the footage down to the station tomorrow morning. ill keep updating as we learn. Bloody mongrels!

    Pictures are on the way

    If it was targeted i wouldn't know why.

    We're pretty inoffensive people, were friendly with all the community, We don't owe anyone money, and we haven't crossed any bikie gangs!

    PS. Anyone know how to get photos off an iPhone onto here?

    It was a range rover, it might be some radical greenie group. My dad went to a country show a while back and all the Range rover and Landie tyres were slashed, not just one each car but all of them. I am not sure what the misguided aims of these idiots was, maybe 4x4's use more fuel or something god only knows, but it might have been something like this?
    Sorry to hear about what happened.

    That is dreadful
    My street and surrounding areas are prone to frequent uninvited car cleanouts and thefts... I am very grateful to have a lockable garage that is not filled to the hilt with everything except my car
