FREEPORT, N.Y. (AP) — Most drivers who don't like their car either trade it in or sell it.
Police on New York's Long Island say a teenager set his BMW on fire "simply because he hated the car." Nassau County police didn't offer additional details on the alleged motive.
Police say a surveillance camera recorded the 18-year-old torching the 1992 BMW on July 10. At the time, it was parked about 2½ feet feet from his apartment building.
The defendant was awaiting a court appearance Friday in First District Court in Hempstead. The charges include arson and reckless endangerment.
