Duh...Hot coals DO NOT go into the trunk

As their beloved Redskins were getting their butts handed to them by the Steelers on Monday night, several came out of the stands to find their cars burned.

Such was the fate of at least a dozen Redskins fans whose cars were burned Monday night in the FedEx Field parking lot while their team lost, 23-6. Someone placed a grill full of hot charcoal in the trunk of a car before going into the stadium, sparking a fire that destroyed eight vehicles and damaged one or two others. Twenty firefighters battled the blaze for about 25 minutes, Prince George's County fire officials said. The damage was estimated at about $150,000, they said.
Maj. Dennis Wood, a fire department spokesman, called such car fires "not unheard of but . . . uncommon." He said the fire department keeps a vehicle in the parking lot during Redskins games in case of such an incident. The lesson learned is don't put hot coals in the trunk of your car," Wood said. How drunk or stupid do you have to be to put something super hot into an enclosed space full of carpet and other crap? Leave the grill on the ground, it's alot cheaper to replace a grill than a car, or in this case several cars.
