Deductive reasoning and going after the most likey. Simple as that.
Whoever was doing it was definately not right in the head, and was pissed at something and acting out.
People like that often flock to extreme causes like moths to a flame.
The occupy-einsteins have been in the news allot lately and there are allot of wackos and anarchists involved in that group, that was an obvious possibility and ruling that out would be irrational and almost as dumb as suggesting he may be part of a group that stands for exactly the opposite. Like the tea party for instance.

The enviro-wacko groups have a track record of extremism with a total lack of any reasonable thought or responsibility, and they have a track record of burning cars (and houses).
Again, ruling that out would be silly. Always look at the most likely first. If they've done it many times before, there's a good chance they could be doing it again. That's called Logic as opposed to knee-jerk reaction and emotional defensiveness.

Note that I did not say he was a member of one of those groups, only that it would not surprise me if he was.
