It’s something of a tradition in France. Every New Year’s Eve,
hundreds of cars are torched by revellers making no point
other than wanton destruction.

And the announcement of the tally of destruction from New
Year's Eve has become a media tradition in its own right.

Last year in Strasbourg, traditionally a hotspot for New Year
disturbances, some 70 cars were set on fire, while at least
350 were burned in Paris and its surrounding suburbs.

In total, 1,137 cars were set alight last year, slightly less
that the 1,147 torched in 2009.
