A few weeks ago, 54-year-old Donald Cassidy of West Newton, Pennsylvania reported that his car had been stolen. Luckily, police found his car in some nearby woods, and unfortunately it had been destroyed by a fire.

While investigating the vehicle, however, the police grew suspicious of Cassidy's claims that the car had been stolen, and requested a warrant to search through his iPhone's history.


There, they found that before Cassidy reported his car stolen, he searched for "how to set your car on fire and make it look like an accident."

Cassidy was subsequently arrested, and according to CBS 10, is facing charges of arson, false reports, and risking a catastrophe.
