No - freak accident. The owner was gone from home and a dumptruck parked uphill blocks away began rolling after its parking brake had failed. It crashed into the owner's home and caught fire, destroying the home, his Indian motorcycle collection, and both his electric vehicles, including "Red Beastie". He salvaged parts from the vehicles that he could.
