A Burr Ridge woman must have been burning mad when she allegedly set her ex-boyfriend's car on fire.
Renae Jaime must have been really pissed off, although The Southtown Star claims she was simply carrying a torch for an ex-boyfriend.
Police in Joliet say the 27-year-old woman left a blazing trail of evidence that led to arson charges when she allegedly set the guy's 1995 Cutlass on fire last month.
The man's car went up in flames outside his home in Joliet at about 2 a.m. on Jan. 24.
"A neighbor saw her Honda blocking the victim's driveway ... before the fire broke out and wrote down the license plate," Deputy Chief Patrick Kerr said.
Kerr said the witness gathered more evidence when he visited a nearby gas station where he told the clerk his neighbor's car had just been set on fire.
"The clerk told him a woman had just been in to ask for a book of matches ... buying a gas can and a gallon of gas, saying she 'Wanted to kill her husband,'" Kerr said, noting the suspect and victim are not married.
The neighbor told police what happened and detectives reportedly linked a credit card receipt and video surveillance to Jaime.
On Tuesday, detectives went to Jaime's residence in Burr Ridge to arrange an interview at the Burr Ridge Police station.
Following that interview, Jaime was arrested on a charge of arson and booked into the county jail.

Memo to self....don’t date until after the truck is paid off. LOL!
Hell hath no fury like... meh, too obvious.
Dang... and here I was hoping that she torched his car by first lighting herself on fire as the title implies.
Sounds to me like she took that Carrie Underwood song just a LITTLE too literally.
You should always count to ten before you do something stupid.
Hey. At least she didn’t carve her name in the poor guys flesh!

A 95 Cutlass? Dang, that restitution is gonna set her back what, 2 r 3 hunderd dollers
LOL - that’s what I thought, too.
"So naturally I sold them to her," the clerk continued.
“Renae Jaime must have been really pissed off”
This vulgar, offensive garbage passes for journalism these days.
She did him a favor.
Gee, honey, we all know the feeling, but if you were going to do something nasty and illegal to your ex boyfriend, shouldn’t you have covered your tracks just a little bit more carefully? Parking your car in front of the driveway and telling the clerk where you bought matches and gasoline that you wanted to kill your ex might have been just the least little bit careless. Now your ex is going to have the last laugh while you rot in jail.
