Romanian Arsonist Sets Fire To This Cadillac Escalade: Video

Cadillac Escalade set ablaze in Romania

Imagine having parked your Escalade outside your property, only to find it burnt to the ground by an ill-meaning arsonist. That’s exactly what happened in Romania, capture by this video.

Apparently, the owner of the Escalade installed the security cameras to be able to capture something like this. The arsonists who starts his antics around the 30-second mark, first soaks the luxury SUV in gasoline and then lights in on fire in what we can only describe as being nearly equivalent to fireworks. From what we gather, no one was injured during the incident… but the Caddy went down in flames — our most sincere condolences go out to the owner.

Now how about catching the perp?

    Either the arsonist knows the owner and the owner is an ass, or this guy is just jealous because he’s unemployed or makes a meager wage and cannot afford an Esclade.

      And that’s what I can’t understand. Why trash the Escalde out of jealousy instead of stealing it?

      I’m not condoning either act, but I’ve never bought the idea of arson out of jealousy.

    Reminds me of those Eco-Terrorists who thought burning cars was good for the environment.
