That sucks dude.
When I was a kid I used to hang around an auto shop. One day the owner/ only mechanic was pulling a gas tank out of a 55 Chevy Bellaire and spilled some gas out of it on to a drop-light and poof, the place was gone in no time (55 was saved but it was the only thing). One of my brothers friends has his truck in there and it got completely destroyed, the funny thing, like your keys is that his Calculus book was on the pass floorboard of his truck and it was barely singed. That's some weird ****. May dad said "well, you know, calculus is a pretty tough subject"

I do hate to hear such a story of pain, but you probably sold a dozen fire ext.'s today. I would also not be scared to admit I cried, i've thought about such things a time or two, and it would be devistating.

well went and grabed the locker out of the rear and put in the stock unit. i got my tool box. and my speaker and amp. they are in my car now and they are rock'n imagine that just a little smoke. i cleaned them up and the still pounded great. we got my baby girls toys out the just need to be washed. i even poped open the glove box (had too use a crow bar because it was melted shut) and all the paper work was clean and drie.?. so that was all kinda cool. here are some pics.
