Anonymous flaming object torches bedroom of Arlington house
Have they ruled out great balls of fire from outer space?
According to Arlington fire investigators, a "device" thrown through a window started the fire that burned out the front bedroom of a house in the 7500 block of Thunderbird Drive early Tues. (Oct. 14).
The arson shapes up to be the result of some sort of ongoing feud affecting one of the people living in the house, who has been the focus of other incidents reported to authorities.
Since the front room where the anonymous device ended up was pretty much burned out, investigators haven't determined what it was exactly.

Sounds like one helluva technical investigation.
Dude done told them he was hardcore! Setting someone's house ablaze sounds like a bit more than a grudge. Coooooooooold-blooded!
