Wasn't there a spot on the Adam Corolla radio show about that?
WTF constitutes "fire starting equipment" or "flammable materials" exactly and how is that enough to accuse much less indict someone? I'd like to think the PD got the right guy but isn't a motor vehicle inherently "flammable materials" (seats/upholstery, fuel, lots of electrical spark sources, etc...)?
There are some seriously effed up people in CA. Damn lucky nobody got killed. If someone tried it around here I can almost guarantee it'd be a footnote in the paper after some local hiker dragged the arsonists lifeless corpse down to the local police station and left it on the doorstep with a note. One thing I've noticed about this place is that (whether for better or worse) people here tend to be much more aware of surroundings and much more willing to intervene in situations than in most other places I've lived (including CA). Lots of volunteer FDs, people actually stop to help stranded motorists, say "hello" and converse with strangers, etc. It's a bit weird and jarring to get used to actually...
I just hope there aren't too many copycats...
