burned out SUV on 5th ave and 1st street??

its finally been towed, but does anyone know anything about the burned out SUV that was sitting for 2 days on the corner of 5th ave and 1st street? the hood was up and it looked like the engine and everything were fine, but it appeared that the car had exploded from the inside. everything charred, windows broken, shattered glass all over the street, horrible burned smell. no cops, no firetrucks, nothing! anyone have any info about this? it was a pretty disturbing sight...

I know! I thought the same thing! In fact i came on brooklynian to see what the story was... hmmm.... here are 2 pics for those who did or did not view the damage... so curious...

Happened at about noon on saturday.. tons of police and firetrucks. No injuries from what I could gather. Some more details on heresparkslope.com

I was walking some people home during a coop shift when we spotted this car on Saturday. They were so surprised because it hadn't been there 45 min prior to their first crossing of 5th Ave.

The burnt wheelchair added an extra creepy dimension.

$4/gal gas + big truck + rough economy = x
