No insurance, figured out that from heating the edge of my air fresheners with lighter after having a smoke, I must have started a cherry on one and when I opened the door it caught. The 12 caught on fire dropped off the ebrake pedal and burnt on the floor, thankfully it smothered itself as I had a full can of zippo fluid 3 inches from it in the door, and 500 rounds of ammo in the centre console :/ could been waaaayyyy worse
Unless you were free-basing or doing something illegal I would put in a claim. That's why you have insurance, to cover the bouts of stupidity one gets from time to time. Ever talk to an insurance adjuster? He'll tell you some amazingly stupid things people do and still put in a claim. Some people don't have any shame and aren't embarrassed.

I'm a bit confused. Were you holding the lighter up to the air fresher?
