What a bogus story. Sounds like insurance fraud to me.

Carjackers would not take an old SUV. Carjackers take fancy cars. Nor would a person fire a car on fire just 2 hours after stealing it.

If the thieves needed to get home, they would have hitchhiked or stolen an empty car. Also the owner described the robbers as wearing black hooded sweatshirts. The clothes that were found burning were not black.

This was definitely not a carjacking.
