“Our insurance company is finding their way out so they don’t have to pay for all this arson,” Khindri wrote on Car Source’s Go Fund Me fundraising page.

Now, Khindri is working with a lawyer to convince his insurer to cover at least some of the damages, which he estimates to total about $2.5 million.

Khindri did not respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment on the situation.

However, Khindri told Kenosha News that the city is pressuring him to clean up his lot and remove the burned vehicles.

“He didn’t do this,” John Morrissey, director of Kenosha’s Department of City Inspections, told Kenosha News. “We understand that. But he does have to clean it up.”

But the problem is, Khindri told the newspaper, “if something does go through, the [insurance] adjuster is going to come … to look at the cars” and assess the damage. The adjuster can’t do that if the owners remove the vehicles, he said.

His burned-out dealership “does look bad, but [the city] let it all happen,” Khindri said. “They don’t want to admit it.”
