Well... Now I'm awake.

Kweh?
Was doing my usual hang-out with friends for late-night role-playing, Super Hero campaign...
When suddenly one of the other game-store patrons runs back in from going to check his car asking for the fire extinguisher.
Next thing I know, everyone's moving their vehicles away from the one that just suddenly started on fire (from the back seat no less) and people are struggling to get shit out of the car before it starts blazing, dropping bucket after bucket of water on the mess in an attempt to keep it down long enough for the fire department to show up.
Having it happen not even fifty feet from the spot we were sitting was kinda killing our need for sleep, and making everything just feel... wrong. I mean, I know this kinda shit happens, but how it happened means someone deliberately tossed something flammable into his back seat, and the fact it happened somewhere I usually feel really safe just because of the local people and the fact it's a family-run store has me a little unnerved.
They guy's alright, thankfully, horribly shaken from this (understandable, of course. Who wouldn't be, right?) But he said he was going to be okay... He has insurance, he only lost a portion of his MTG collection, and his $600+ of war-game miniatures were in the store still.
Everything just feels off now thanks to this incident. Especially since it happened so early on Thanksgiving.

wouldn't doubt it was arson... cars don't just mysteriously catch on fire in the back seat.
sorry to read you had to deal with crazy crap like this on Thanksgiving. :(
hope you'll have a happy Thanksgiving, despite the lousy start.
