Five bicycles were torched one after the other during a 30-minute period early Sunday in Yashio, Saitama Prefecture.
According to police, a passerby noticed a bike on fire in a parking lot outside an apartment building at around 2:20 a.m. Sunday, Fuji TV reported. About 20 minutes later, four other bicycles in a nearby condo parking space were also set alight.
Police said they are examining street surveillance camera footage to try and spot the person or persons responsible.

sensie, I was thinking the same thing - tires and seat are all that's flammable, and even then, you'd need a hell of an accelerant.

"Five bicycles were torched " "four other bicycles in a nearby condo parking space were also set alight."
So that's a total of 9...good thing it wasn't cars.

Not 9 bikes, 1+4=5.

Math, I am heavily grilled at.

Dead easy, often wonder why posters ask for clarification when all the info is in the article, could cite more examples.
Increasingly I have to correct people when they are quoting news or having read something as they just skim stuff and remember it wrong and are vehement they are right.
