«In Berlin in 2009 more than 300 cars were damaged by arsonists. Luxury cars are the preferred target and its assumed cause is protest against further gentrification of the capital. Only a minority of the attacks are accompanied by a claim of responsibility. The authorities believe a third of the arson attacks to be the work of vandals without political affiliations».
