An elderly man in Germany tried to defrost his car by resting a blow heater under the hood only to return and find the vehicle had blown up.
‘He burned the vehicle out completely,’ said a spokesman for police in the western city of Hildesheim.
Police said the man left the heater on next to the frozen windshield washer tank and returned indoors. Shortly thereafter he heard two explosions and returned to find the car ablaze.
The man called fire officials who arrived in time to prevent the fire from damaging the man’s house.
The house was charred a little however and total damages were estimated at close to $50,000.
