Guess what this is ? : Answer

a burned car - Charlie was right
This is not the worst case, I have seen a small bunched up black car with black tar everywhere and the plants surronding the car burned as well.

Like in the first picture with black tar on the pavement, they are found every inch of the area. I joked to my husband once that it seemed that it was the place to burn your car or burn a car. So the picture of the car located above is from Paris with license plates from 75 not 93, Seine Saint Denis and the car was fairly new. It begs me to ask the question, did the owner intentionally bring their car to get "torched" on "accident" or did it really get torched by some kids who wanted to have some fun?

I hate to say it but it was probably the former, because the owner wanted a better car and he thought he prove to the insurance company that his car was torched. Maybe I'm being biais. But it seems like lots of people are bringing their cars to lots like these, backing in, clearing their junk out and letting it burn through the night.

Here is a hint!

from this picture
These spots aren't all that important, France has bigger issues than black spots on the ground in suburbs. But I find the stories or the sightings interesting.

The picture below was once such sighting witnessed at 4 in the morning (more about this in the answer post) just two weeks after moving into our new apartment.

Keep your guesses coming!
Have you figured it out yet?
