A case of "mistaken identity"? Did it think it was a Pinto?


Hmmmm. I'm sure he had good insurance...wink,wink, nudge, nudge.

Usually car theives do not torch them, this seems shady. I think someone was looking for insurance money.

Firefighters in some cities make a hell of a lot of money. Retirement benefits can be staggering.

a NYC fireman that keeps his boat next to mine gets something like $80K a year in retirement. Pretty young guy at that

You'd better buy yourself a decent fire extinguisher then. Electrics and RR's is not a very good combination..........
