Ore. arsonist targets 1990s green Ford Escorts

Medford police sergeant says it's clear the arsonist doesn't like car modelupdated 3:02 a.m. MT, Wed., March. 4, 2009

MEDFORD, Ore. - An arsonist is apparently on the prowl for green Ford Escorts from the 1990s. Three of them have been burned in recent weeks, a series of acts that Medford police Sgt. Mike Budreau described as "pretty bizarre."

A 1995 green Ford Escort was destroyed by flames early Sunday morning after someone broke a window and poured flammable liquid into it. A similar fire was set in a 1993 green Ford Escort parked in a driveway on Feb. 22.

Investigators have also uncovered a Feb. 2 case of a 1992 green Ford Escort damaged by a plastic container filled with flammable liquid placed next to a tire that burned without setting the car afire.

Budreau told the Mail Tribune newspaper in Medford, "I think this person really doesn't like Ford Escorts."

Oh god...yes I do...green 93 Wagon and I love my car. Could use more power but I've abused the heck out of it and it's still alive. Need a wagon to load all my band gear and it's perfect. 215,000 miles since 10/27/97. It's so good I think Im going to put a new motor in and paint and windshield.

Maybe he will take out Tito's Malibu next and he can collect the insurance for a down payment on a AMC Pacer.

AMC Pacer.....wow, I still remember the 70's commercial for that car, with the dude sitting in the back seat making that four foot long sub sandwich.

As for the burning of the Green Escorts, sounds like someone's got personal issues big time. Sort of like the portapotty arsonist we have up in San Francisco who's been torching shitters in the middle of the night over the past few months now. Those are green colored too. Wonder if there's a connection here.
