they tried to rob the evo, but couldn't, so lit it on fire. 205GTi next to it caught fire, then EVO hand brake cable snapped in heat and the car rolled into the RS4 and burned it too..

Dear god - if that doesn't drive a man to violence I don't know what will!

after having lost the 3 car Imagine the call to the insurance company!

I know the lad - used to hang around with his brother. I believe the 205 wasn't insured & he'd just spent 20k on the Evo's engine.

Totally soul destroying.

it's tragic. That evo was proper rare. Kace, i thought the same thing about the yellow lines. I was also thinking if you had almost 100k worth of cars you'd have to have a garage or at least a private drive where scum could not see them get alone get near them. Well i would anyway. I'm bad enough with my fto but if i had a super rare evo i'd have it hidden away at night. I feel for the guy though. He must be devastated.

those scum should be shot.

His family business built the apartment block and surrounding houses (among other properties) - lives in the penthouse - but I hear ya - I'd want a garage to be honest
