Default For my West Coast LA IS'ers- Fire!!

I couldn't help but seeing all these headlines of 30+ car fires being set in Los Angeles and the surrounding areas.

Did anyone of you see this arson taking place? hopefully nobody on here was involved; and hopefully whoever was involved has a smooth insurance claim process.

Torching cars is such a low, terrible thing.

I believe that is a IS that is roasting IN HIS DRIVEWAY!

Sad news. People no longer respect another's property. Glad to see no one was hurt.
