MAN SETS CAR ON FIRE TO AVOID TOWING

A Manchester, New Hampshire man is facing an arson charge after lighting his own vehicle on fire to prevent it from being towed. Police say the owner of an apartment building had called Dan’s City Towing to have an illegally parked car removed. After the car had been placed on a tow truck and lifted, the owner of the vehicle, identified as Shad Badeau, 40, arrived and set his vehicle on fire to prevent it from being towed. The tow truck driver unhitched and dropped the vehicle, at which time Badeau extinguished the car fire himself before firefighters and police arrived. Badeau was arrested on a charge of arson.
* He showed them. How to be an idiot. He showed them how to be an idiot.
* Quick thinking. Dumb … but quick.
* “Hey, dude – hot car!”
* Is it still illegally parked, or is it now just littering?
* It’s the wacky news formula: when in doubt immediately make the situation ten times worse.
* You should see how he clears the snow off the driveway.
* This is the kind of guy who makes me worry about the sale of flame throwers.
* It’s true. You can get a small personal flame thrower for around 200 bucks or go “surplus military” and buy one for $1,599.
* When in doubt set everything on fire? It sounds like our foreign policy in the Middle East.
