that's what others are saying... We don't know that yet, but if the person did it to fraud insurance then fuck him/her.

This happened at a car shop so I'm thinking that a pissed off customer thought to get revenge back by burning close to 1 million dollars worth of cars.

Some things are just too perfect. If it was arson (more than likely), they'll catch whoever did it and then he'll get

So basically last night someone had broken into my works car compound and set fire to a few mercedes 2 of which were quite expensive(CL65 AMG, S63 AMG)

I just grabbed this from the 1st post... sounds like a privately owned place...

1) That's a Decepticon logo on the truck, not an Autobot logo.

2) Probably fraud or a disgruntled employee/former employee.

The video link included indicates that it was a dealer that was vandalized.

My bet is on extreme treehuggers, who would be against largesse like these gas-guzzling cars. This sort of dealership vandalism happened in Cali not that long ago, but with Hummers IIRC. Of course, it would just as easily be a pissed off customer or insurance fraud.

Dear insurance frauders:

If you would like to get rid of your V12 Mercedes', don't burn them. Just call me, I'll take 'em off your hands and you can say they were stolen. I'll cover shipping
