    REGARDING:
    “I feel compelled to point out the fact that everyone seems to have overlooked, it is a good thing the vehicles occupants were not incinerated.”

    And we appreciate your concern and share it as well, I’m sure.

    We also hope they are not the people who have been going around stealing and burning vehicles for the fun of it. After all, if they are, they might get hurt.

    David for better people

    That car was there at 9:30 pm last night. It did not look burned when I went by. The trunk and door was open just like in the picture.

    I feel compelled to point out the fact that everyone seems to have overlooked, it is a good thing the vehicles occupants were not incinerated.

    Regardless of their skin color or where they were fleeing to.

    Wow, very strange, I thought the same thing when I first saw the picture. (I thought that looks like a person in the picture.)

    Oh my word! In the first picture of the car it does look like a child in the front seat with a hand pushing the door open!

    It looks like a kid is sitting in the drivers seat.
