Oregon Arsonist Targeting 1990s Green Ford Escorts

Tuesday, March 03, 2009

Print MEDFORD, Ore. — An arsonist is on the prowl in Medford for green Ford Escorts from the 1990s.

Three of them have been burned in recent weeks, a series that Medford police Sgt. Mike Budreau describes 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."

Film at 11...

Any one seen potts ?

I think Big Chief lives in this area....

HE HATES THESE CANS!!!!

Yeah, where is Ford's biggest cheerleader? Someone has to write 1,000 words about this...

cesspool, I mean cesscort, I mean escort.......there sure are alot of them out there. btw, arsonists should be strung up by they're ankles and burned at the stake with the ashes spread out on the highway to help melt the ice off.......

Maybe he owned one and is getting even with it's brothers and sisters for the years of misery and social neglect he has suffered through!

Maybe his local shpo owner has one and sold him fake cubans!

Medford is 80 miles away over a dangerous, icy, boulder-strewn road--I didn't do it!

Seriously, the last time I drove that road, I hit a boulder the size of Charlies humidor and tore off the left front wheel of my wife's Volvo.

^ Big Chief - Would that be Hwy 199 (Redwood Hwy)? Or the one into Happy Camp?

The Escort was probably one of the biggest pieces of sh*t Ford produced.

But they sold a lot of them over the years.
