All I can say is that when Bush was President... we didn't have Spyder fires and garages blowing up. Thanks *****!!
Edit: It's funnier after I read it... because it bleep out our President's name.

If the OP is messing with people that is one thing, but myself, I would be a bit irritated to learn about my loss of garage, vehicles and items and then have this place preach to me it could not be the Spyder, when their burn to the ground history is documented. Granted the situation of heat is different.
You guys are pretty tough, I expected next you would just come out and accuse the op of setting fire to his place.
I have not been on SL too long. Posts like this on any forum prove how cruel or even wrong the keyboard is.
I hope this is not a joke post, and would suggest some go ack and re read their replies, then consider walking in the OP's shoes for the trip to see a burned garage.
Sheesshh, tough crowd.

Your kidding, right? I am suggesting that you go back and read the comments. Be careful sitting at your desk though, your chair and computer might spontaneously combust.
No one ran down the OP. No one preached to him. We did question the ruling of the fire marshal. Who wouldn't?
The possibilities have been discussed based on the information given.
Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.
Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)
MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles
IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

As for my computer and chair, I hope not, I really like them.
After seeing the photo, I would be pretty bummed out. Hopefully it gets resolved fair and quick for the OP.

They might actually be able to learn something from the char patterns on the VW...

Honestly, I do not know. Certainly seemed intense.
I would be going nuts without the garage and toys...especially losing all sorts of tools.

Just Sayin,' Let's Look On the Brite Side
Thank God it was a detached garage. The OP has lost a lot of property. It will be months before the insurance settles. Too many questions as to the true cause of the fire have to be answered, regardless of what the FM said. As someone said "the burn pattern will reveal all".
Let me join those who have already said "sorry for your loss" Personally, I would be beside myself if I were in your shoes.
Best of luck to you

Wow..... sometimes I cannot believe what goes on in posts here.... Is there any post that stays on topic or doesn't get stuffed full of banter?

I've never heard of a 2010 catching fire. We all have seen the pictures of Spyders burning or the remains of those that have burned. There is nothing left. That's because most of the Spyder is plastic resulting in a very intense, fast moving fire. In that respect, and looking from an investigators standpoint, I can see where the fire marshal might get his findings. However, I would have an independent investigation done by a forensic fire investigator. There are a number of fire reports under review now due to investigators using old procedures.

I had a friend who was burning a pile of brush behind his shed and after it was out, the shed burnt three days later! It was determined that a smoking root from a tree had caught the shed on fire! So I would not discount anything, fire is a weird phenomenon! I just wish the OP a quick and satisfactory solution, speaking from experience it is not fun losing stuff in a fire as something's are unreplaceable!

Nobody is immune to this phenomenon...
"Banterosis", is inevitable!

So is that a fair value in your opinion? What maters most is that you are satisfied with the settlement and can get on with your life. I had a similar problem with a burglary. Took over a week to figure out a list for the insurance company. was discovering things for over two years. "Oh yeah, I had a special tool for ..." never really got all stuff replaced, but I had to move on.
Good luck.

Do you have any idea how the Homeowner's policy is going to chip in yet?

That's average retail for an SM5. You don't say what your's is. So that's in the ball park per NADA and KBB.

Just got a replacement
Will I just got a replacement for the burnt 2010 RT. I got a 2014 Cognac RT-S SE6 with Tri Axis Handlebars. A great ride home.
