Shocking doorbell camera video captures group of teens torching car on quiet street
A group of six hooded youngsters surround a car before one of them shatters a window with a stone.
Shocking doorbell camera footage captured the moment a group of teens set fire to a parked car in the middle of the night on a quiet Wisconsin street.
The clip, shared on social media, showed six hooded teens casually gathered around a white car as another vehicle drove by. One of the vandals threw a large stone, shattering the car’s window. Moments later, the same teen set an object on fire and tossed it into the passenger seat, igniting the vehicle.
The video, recorded shortly after 1 a.m., shows the fire spreading rapidly while the other teens haphazardly threw objects at the burning car. One could be heard yelling, “Janiyah, the other way,” as the group fled the scene. Soon after, the car erupted into a massive fireball, with a car alarm blaring in the background.

A concerned neighbor appeared on the footage, rushing to the front porch and repeatedly ringing the doorbell in an attempt to alert residents.
The person who posted the video commented, “Thank GOD it wasn’t my car, but my Benz was parked right in front of it and my Hummer across the street! I’m glad my neighbor rang my camera to wake me.”
Social media users expressed outrage at the teens’ reckless behavior and questioned the involvement of their parents. “Where are these kids’ parents at 1 a.m. on a Thursday night?!” one user wrote. Another added, “Wtf…Where are the parents???”
It remains unclear whether authorities are investigating the incident or if the arson was targeted or random.
