Los Angeles County police responding to an early morning rubbish fire later discovered a homeless man had been sleeping inside the burning boxes.

They also claim the alleged arsonist, 32-year-old Richard Smallets, knew there was someone inside the cardboard box he set afire. He even took photos as the homeless man poured bottle water on the flames before making a successful escape.

about a similar incident, the book was decent, movie sucked.
