I just saw on the news in California there are fires being set in cars and the fires are spreading to homes and everything. They are looking for suspects and think they found one. Thank God noone has been hurt but still all of those cars now need to be replaced, and homes as well. If it was our car that happened to, I know we would not be able to get another one! What in the world is the point of doing this? Just to hurt people? People are hurting bad as it is with the economy, why make things worse? I hope the police find them soon so this stops!

They say that the man who started the fires mother was being deported and that when they caught him he said he hates the United States. So who knows that could have been the reason. I would say he has a few problems if he did something like that. I would say mentally he was probably a bit unstable. They say that whens someone does something like that, that they are angry about something. If that had happened to our car, we wouldn't be able to replace it either, same thing if it had happened to our home. They said that one of the firemen did get hurt.

The information I got was from the National news. A rookie cop saw the guy. I guess there were taps of a man with a pony tail leaving one of the underground garages, or something like that. I agree with you, if they don't like it here then go back where they came from.

You heard more than I did. Isnt this terrible? I feel like anyone who hates America should be made to GET OUT! Its not fair to let peoples lives get destroyed here just because they hate where they are! You dont like it here feel free to leave, do us all a favor. Thank you for letting me know more info that I didnt hear yet. Aw, I didnt know the fireman got hurt. =(

That is just terrible. what will those people think of next. Destroy, disrespect and depersonalize everything there. Now days people have no respect for anyone. I don't like to interact with people anymore. Now they are burning cars. OMG! What will they think of next?!

It is terrible! I hope they catch them because they need to pay for what they have done to other people's things. I hope they don't come up with anything worse!!

I hope that the police can locate them too. I know that some arsonists find the fire to bring a thrill to their lives. I don't understand why people would set fire to others property and damage it without any real reason. I hope that the people who have suffered losses can get items replaced without a huge loss of money for them. I think if the person is caught they need to have to pay all damages.

Yeah, I know they only found one of them so far and their not telling the media anything more than that right now. If it brings them a thrill they should do it to their own things if they want to, not destroy people's lives! It is terrible. I absolutely agree they should have to PAY every last dime that got destroyed with these fires, maybe just maybe they would think twice before starting another fire...

I think someone that does something like this definately has to have something wrong, mentally that is. I can't imagine setting someone's property on fire...destroying something that others have worked so hard for! I do hope they find him/her and put them where they belong.

I don't even want to give them that much credit that it's due to something mental. The one person they caught was in his 20's and had nothing wrong with him from what they could tell. I think giving them the "insanity" plea is being WAY too nice to them and giving them the easy way out. I know if it happened to me there is NO possible way I could afford to replace all of my things... I hope they pay for all they have done.

That is really messed up. It seems like people would do anything anymore when they are bored. This is crazy I hope they find who ever is doing this as well. People can get killed and the sad part is that they seem to not care at all. I don't see how people do not have a heart!

It is messed up and really sad. I feel so bad for the people that lost all of their stuff in this way. I really hope they find them and they have to pay for what they have done!

Oh how horrible for anyone to be filled with the devil enough to do something like that. I do believe in what goes around comes around, but that doesn’t help the people who have had this happen to them. I hope something 10 times worse happens to those that did these terrible things. If something like that happened to us, I don’t know what we would do or where we would go.

A similar type of thing has been happening in my city of Mumbai since the last couple of years,the only thing is that its not cars but two-wheelers that have been set on fire by miscreants and the cops have still not been able to find the culprits.Whoever has done such things must be mentally deranged in some way otherwise no civilized person will do things like this for no reason at all.Whoever has done such things if caught should reveive severe punishment, a long hard and rigorous jail sentence and a heavy fine.

Just before I left for work today, I saw this news on TV. And they say the've already have a suspect. I think there's something mentally wrong with the guy. They say the police had this guy already for some traffic violation in the past, so they alread have a record. I bet there's some insurance money involved here.

Oh my heavens I hope this stops soon as well. Just who do those vandels thing they are, setting fire and causing major damage!!! I agree we have a lot of problems now, we certainly don't need any more, nor can we afford to replace what we have lost, most of the time, especially if we don't have adequate insurance!! Grrrr, that makes me so mad! Please keep us updated, if you find anything more, I'm curious myself if they have caught those buggers and what was the reason behind their actions were.

Yeah it is terrible and all of those poor people that have had this done to them. I cannot even imagine what they are going through right now. I don't know how they are going to replace everything they lost. =( I will definitely let you know when I hear something more about it!

I heard about those fires on the news. I don't know why people do those stupid things. The thing that makes no sense is that if they were just setting vehicles on fire, didn't they think about it blowing up? That's why the fires spread I guess.
