So setting fire to one's car will bring down the world price of oil?

That's like trying to shoot an elephant with a BB gun. He's also lucky the gas tank didn't explode........I can't imagine why the police did not charge him for creating such a clear public hazard.

It isn't NY, just compare the current templates. Also, XXX### plates haven't been issued there since the 80s.
