Do we know who did this? I recall past similar incidents in which “French youth” were identified as perpetrators of such arson.

Tsk tsk French youth such as Yves and Jean Claude are setting cars in fire as a practical joke???????

As long as French authorities allow these “youths” to burn the cars they will keep burning cars.

Tolérance zero, though I don’t think they know what that means

Wouldn’t happen here; there would be hundreds of shot up dead bodies and no one would have seen anything.

[[According to the French interior ministry, the total of 945, which included cars that were either “totally destroyed” or “more lightly affected”, amounted to a 17 per cent rise compared to last year.

Despite this, New Year’s Eve “went off without any major incident”, the interior ministry insisted in a statement, adding that there were only “a few troubles with public order”, ]]

The destruction of almost a thousand cars is no major incident. Obviously the none of the cars destroyed belonged to the interior ministry employees .

It just screams “ don’t vacation in France , ever”

I remember a time when France wasn’t an Islamic nation.

Only missing element in that Telegraph report is the visual of SNL's Gilda Radner as Bawbwa WaWa stating:
"On Sunday, the ministry had chosen to release a much lower figure of 650 cars torched, as this only indicated the number of vehicles "set on fire" and not those engulfed in the ensuing flames.

The lower figure enabled it to claim: "Once again this year, the overall number of vehicles burned demonstrates that, however intolerable, the phenomenon is contained". By this calculation, the rise, it said, was only 48 cars.

Unbelievable opined perversion of facts as well as ridiculous dismissal of accountability.

That would do it!! :)

I’m sure there are plenty of impounded cars that could be used.

Just substitute burning for stealing.

Well that’s one way to get new cars sold.

America's Muslim does it with "Cash for Clunkers", except that "Other People's Money" is The Insureds' Money and not The Taxpayers' Money.

Has anyone told France that China has invented these things called fireworks?
They’re great for celebrations of all kinds. Cheap too compared to cars.

I wonder if the muslims and Somalis were involved?

Why would they destroy private property like that?
