Narrative

My wife parked the van in our church parking lot. Turned it off and locked the doors like normal. Came out two hours later to see the front windows covered in smoke and the. Hitting the unlock button on the key fob opened the door to find the driver seat melted, center console, right half of steering wheel, driver window visor and roof melted and burnt. The fire of damage was only in that area the rest of the car has heat damage and smoke damage. But from under the driver seat and up completely melted away. This just happened today Feb 4, working though USAA insurance company to figure out the way forward.
