It’s another one for the dumb crooks file, this one courtesy of the Land Down Under. Police in Victoria State say a couple of yo-yos tried to light a motorhome on fire. In the end, one arsonist lit himself on fire.
Arsonist lit himself on fire
It all broke out last week in Wangaratta, about 150 miles from Melbourne, Australia. On Friday, October 18, first responders were called to a fire about 3:20 in the morning. Security video reveals two suspects were involved. One, in a second attempt, uses a gas can to elevate the flames of the already burning unit.
What’s more interesting is his accomplice, a flaming fool. This one took the Molotov cocktail approach. He got the motorhome ablaze, but also caught his own arm afire.

Thank you, Russ and Tina! Good to be reminded that some actions provide their own “reward” almost immediately. Good luck to the authorities as they search for these culprits. Have a great week and safe travels!
