Not very far from Heath Street.
Things that make you go "hmm."
I don't get it
explain please?
He's implying the car is made out of wood
The owner was planning on having it inspected tomorrow, too.
Heath Street = High Crime = Car Flambee?
That was my first thought. Could be perfectly innocent, hence the "hmm" rather than an "aha!" Any details available?
Silly Conjecture
Cars light on fire all the time all by themselves [granted often due to misuse or disrepair by their owners].
Just a few local examples:

Sure, Spontaneous Vehicular Combustion is MUCH more likely!
After all, that neighborhood already has a history of Spontaneous Wheel Disappearance!

Those wheels had value. This
Those wheels had value. This looks to be about a '98 Camry.
Why would being near a "high crime area" have anything to do with a person's car catching on fire while they were driving it?
Is that what happened?
See above, where I said it was my first thought, not a conclusion, and asked if anyone had more details. If you know the facts, then thanks for sharing them!
Oh, and even a '98 Camry presumably has value for the person who owns and drives it. Careful, your privilege is showing :-)
It's obviously in the middle
It's obviously in the middle of the street.
Are you saying they set it on fire on purpose because it's near Heath street? I don't get what you are implying.
That sucks
On Independence Day weekend no less.
God Bless America!
Remains of flames
stay lamely in Jamaica Plain.
Adorable?
