Or it could've been stolen and they just trashed it. Stuff liek this happens all the time in NYC. I see stolen cars abandoned after being stripped/broken into/ or just joy rided in.

I'm not sure that the owner did it since the trunk/hood clearly look broken into. Unless the FD did that for some reason. Also I'm not sure why the donut spare would be on it with the stock 17" rim completely out of sight.

It was more than likely an I.J
Usually, thieves wont remove the plates of the vehicle if being "torched"

the owner deff set it on fire and beat it up a little to make it look like it was stolen because he probably could not afford it anymore.. there's no reason to rip off the grill or damage the trunk like that just to get in the trunk or in the engine because all that opens from the inside.. he probably took the plates off to return them to the dmv lol

if it is an I.J........Don't they know that they'll eventually get caught?
Even all you internet sleuth's put it all together.
I really don't think any one is this dumb to torch a car.

Fire department has to pop the trunk to make sure no one is inside. I've seen it done before and asked why. Smash all the windows too, unless the fire made them burst.

Definitely insurance fraud, if it were stolen, the headlights would have been off as well as the rims, and tail lights, at a minimum.
