The picture above is the result of a fire caused by a defective iPod charger plugged into a vehicle. The iPod was not attached - the charger was simply plugged into the dash and overheated, causing the fire. The vehicle was parked in an attached garage, but was found by the owner prior to any smoke or heat detectors being activated, and extinguished without any further property loss than the vehicle or any any personal injury.
The vehicle has been totaled out - too much damage to repair.
Take away - please unplug ANY electrical charging device from your vehicle when you leave it for any length of time. Or you may come back to find something very different from what you left.
