Completely unrelated to iPhone development...

Saturday night the police rang my door bell. As always I was a bit nervous as they walked up the stairs; "Did I do something wrong? Did something terrible happen? Do they need help with something?"

It turns out that the fire department had just put out a fire in my car. The police said that witnesses had seen 3 young men run away from the crime scene. They asked me if I knew anyone who could have done it. I really don't!

Unfortunately, I think that my insurance will not cover damages to the car -- Only damages I make to other people's cars. It is the kind of thing, where you always think:"Ah, this will happen to someone else. Not to me!"

My parents gave me the car this summer, because they bought a new one and they felt it was better to give the old one to me than to sell it. It was really practical and the insurance wasn't too expensive. The car was a Toyota Starlet from 1997, but even though it was old, I really liked the car. It had good acceleration and it was easy to park. I doubt anyone is ever going to drive it again.

I don't know if someone mistook my car for a gang member's and it somehow got involved in a gang war, or if it was just someone's weird sense of humor. Anyway, I suppose that something worse could have happened and I am happy no one got hurt... But I simply cannot understand why they chose my car instead of some of the flashy ones parked next to it.

I have uploaded a series of photos here. Here is a couple of appetizers:
