Mountaineer

We really don't have any information regarding the incident. The car had been parked outside for approximately 4 hours, when upon waking at around 3:50 am on Sunday morning, I smelled a strange odor emanating from somewhere in the house. As I investigated, I soon found out that the smell was not in the house, but outside, and that's when I found my car ablaze. The fire department had already been called by the time I realized what it was, and the fire was put out. No police came, and no report was filed. The only information given to any official was my name, my cell number, the license plate number, and possibly the VIN. The 1997 Mercury Mountaineer now sits in my driveway.
