She thought she finally executed the plan when the real owner found out. The owner of the car, Thomas Jennings, residing close to the area was alerted by his roommate and they both rushed off with pots of water in the hopes that they can still save the burning car.

Unfortunately, they arrived a little late and the fire already spread and the car was really damaged.
Also caught on the other security footages, the said woman was spotted looking at other cars in the garage looking like she was looking for a particular car, she then finds the Honda that she torched.

The Pinellas County near Clearwater, Florida saw the video from the surveillance cameras and immediately arrested Chamblee.
