FlipBoardChargers linebacker/steroid user/creator of a dance about a light switch Shawne Merriman is short one car today; his beautiful Mercedes was stolen. Fortunately, police were able to find it before Merriman even reported it gone. Probably because it was in flames on the side of the road.
The 2006 sports coupe, valued at more than $180,000, was engulfed in flames when officers discovered it about midnight Thursday in Emerald Hills off Bethune Court, said San Diego police spokesman Gary Hassen.
The car was sitting on top of plastic milk crates, and all of its wheels were missing, Hassen said.
Gosh, that's terrible. Of all the jackasses I would want this to happen to, Merriman's not even in the top 5. There are at least six, maybe even seven or eight pro athletes who deserve this more.
(Thanks to Nick for the tip)
We don't need the $180,000 car, just get me those tires!!!

Why didn't he just poor a drink on the car's head?
Them's some quality flames…
If I was him I would just !!STEROIDS-AAAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHH!! take all that money he so deservedly earns and buy a new one.
Shawn Merrimans car is Richard Pryor in 'the Station' night club story
Too bad there isn't any on/off switches for a fire.
Was the tape deck still in it? How about the Credence?
I don't get kids today.
Why burn perfectly good milk crates?
When he mentioned he wanted some cool flames on it…
I thought 289 was down for a few days?
I want your Daytons and your motherfuckin' stereo
Tim Hardaway hates Merriman's car.
(Because its flaming.)
Yeah, I should leave…..I'll see you guys tomorrow.
I want your Daytons and your motherfuckin' stereo…
and I'll take a double burger with cheese…
MUTHAFUCKA I SAID "WITH CHEESE"!
As long as the word gets out–milk crates are a reliable and affordable way to put your car up for long-term storage.
Were there any Cubs pitchers in the area? I hear they enjoy destroying motor vehicles.
Just a little touch-up. I told you that Benz wuz HOT!
Holy crap — Merriman lives in my neighborhood! So are people coming here to steal cars and deposit them, flaming, in more seedy areas? Or did Merriman have his car stolen from somewhere else? Or did he just rip the tires off in the midst of some 'roid-fueled rage and set it on fire? I don't know what the answer is, but I'm going to start paying closer attention to my neighbors, that's for sure (which after looking at Wikipedia, I found out also includes both Kellen Winslows).
The only thing that disappoints me about this story is that the cops didn't hang around and toast marshmallows over the smoldering remains of Merriman's vehicle.
Nice to see this Southern California wildfire is contained to Shawne Merriman, I hope the police did the Lights out dance around the car

the "stupid 289 come back online" tag could really have potential. I'm actually looking forward to more of this.
