S Caught Fire While Parked and Unplugged  Some rare, but
possible causes if it has anything to do with the car.  FOD...
(Foreign Object Debris) - shorting power to ground anywhere.
Doesn't take much especially on a circuit board somewhere,
rapidly heats up and melts solder creating and even bigger short
and more heat until fire.  Dendrite formation - Very rare and
probably requires more than 4 months to happen, but certain
components on a high density BGA array the solder can form
tendrils towards other solder balls. As the dendrites get close
to each other they will short and break kind of like a fuse, but
eventually it can become big enough to hold and sustain current
generating enough heat to start the solder balls melting driving
more current and heat until fire.  Comment: Re:Nice summary
