Suspicious car fires east of San Francisco

[✶April✶]

The growing number of suspicious car fires reported in cities across Contra Costa County are related, fire officials said Friday.

Two more blazes — the latest in a rash of car fires that has East Bay residents on edge — were reported early Friday morning — one in Walnut Creek and the other in Lafayette.

Investigators confirmed Friday that the two overnight fires are related to five others that have been reported this week — two in Brentwood and one each in Walnut Creek, Lafayette and Martinez. Marshal says there is a connection between this week's fires and at least five others reported earlier in the year.

This crap kept me up last night.  Specifically because the two reported in Brentwood are from the next town over from where we live, one of them being only 5 miles away from our house.  So now I've been paranoid that we're going to wake up with one of our cars on fire.  We've got security cameras installed around the front of the house, so last night just after getting into bed, I couldn't help turning the Driveway camera on its "Live" mode and of course, I heard a fire truck in the distance, so that didn't help either... if I saw anything suspicious, I was definitely ready to be out there with my .380 in hand.

Ugh, I just wish whoever is doing this could be taught how to respect other people's property.

People suck. Nothing better to do than destroy peoples things. Sure insurance will cover it, but what a hassle to go through.
Feel sorry for the people whose vehicles were burned. Good luck to you and yours ✶April✶ , hopefully they never come your way. And, if they do, I think once they see the gun, they won't be back.

Thanks endo. And I'm sure if the sight of a 5'0" girl with a gun doesn't scare them away, once they see my big, burly husband out there with his rifle, they'll probably think twice about coming back too! Haha.
