I WAS DRIVING THE CAR TO THE GAS STATION TO GET A DRINK. WHEN I PULLED IN I SHUT THE CAR OFF REMOVED THE KEY AND LOCKED THE DOORS. WHEN I CAME BACK OUT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO BE CALLED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. FIRE DEPARTMENT DEEMED THE FIRE TO BE CAUSED BY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR
