It was an uncivil end for one Honda Civic.
Carmen Chamblee, 19, has been arrested after she attempted to get revenge on her ex-boyfriend by setting fire to his car.
However, as the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry, there was one major hurdle in her plot to achieve fiery retribution: It was the wrong car.
"I have no idea who she is," former automobile owner Thomas Jennings told local station WFTS. Jennings exited his residence at the urging of his alarmed roommate only to see the giant blaze that was once his Honda.
"I've never seen her in my life," he said.
Chamblee allegedly stuck a rag in the car's gas tank and set it on fire. She may have also used a flammable liquid to bring further misdirected fury to the forsaken four-door.
Thankfully, a surveillance camera outside the man's home caught the Florida woman in the act, leading to her arrest Saturday morning by the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The allegedly petty pyro now faces charges of second-degree arson.
The state of Florida is no stranger to scorned women resorting to fire to enact vengeance. In 2014, a Jacksonville resident incinerated a man's car because he refused to buy her a McFlurry.
