My Garmin mystery explosion, another update...

[CTyankee]

The insurance investigator examined the back seat of my car and said the Garmin was NOT tthe cause of the explosion. It was some sort of plug in air freshener. Neither my husband nor I could recall any such thing in the car.

The investigator asked if we knew of anyone who might have put it there, I guess implying foul play. Since the car is always locked when we park it in the driveway that could not be the reason nor do we have any suspicion of someone who would do such a thing to us.

I have a call in to my daughter to ask her if she knows anything about an plug in "air freshener."

This just gets weirder and weirder...

1. But what ignited it at that moment?

Here's a story of an air-freshener' explosion - but it appears that it needed a match to ignite....

2. It's all immaterial now, tho. We got the insurance company's check which I have deposited.

3. Could a magnifying glass have been left there accidentally?

Or something that would have the same effect?

4. No. I have one but it's upstairs on my desk.

I use it when I go to art galleries because I love to examine artists' brush stroke. However, lots of art museums don't allow their use...
