"SUV burns on Bay Bridge -- cigarette butt blamed

"No ifs, ands or butts about it, Jonathan Fish learned an expensive lesson Thursday about the dangers of littering.

"The 20-year-old San Francisco resident was cruising across the upper deck of the Bay Bridge at 10:40 a.m., smoking a cigarette. When he got near the Harrison Street off-ramp, he rolled down the window of his white 2004 Ford Expedition SUV and tossed out the butt, authorities said.

"Instead of bounding along the pavement, however, the still-lit cigarette blew back in and set the interior of Fish's $30,000 SUV ablaze, he told police.

"Black smoke filled the vehicle. Fish pulled over to the far left-hand lane about 100 feet from the Harrison Street exit and leaped from the Expedition -- leaving the SUV in neutral instead of park."

"Expedition turns into a Blazer"

I absolutely loathe people who litter.

There's a bowling alley down the street from us -- walking past it like traversing an giant ash tray.

or will they consider it "arson" by the owner, and NOT pay up?

i sure hope it's the latter.
