Finding your car burnt out is undoubtedly one of every motorist’s worst nightmares. First, because a car is very expensive and often necessary for everyday life, and in particular for getting to work.

The SRA, for its part, points out that “this study, although not covering non-expert vehicles, illustrates a significant increase in the number, as well as costs, of vandalism, arson claims during the 2023 summer riots.” From now on, we will also have to be vigilant for the New Year in a few days…
