SAN DIEGO – Police are looking for the thief or thieves who stole Chargers' linebacker Shawne Merriman's prized Mercedes Benz and then torched it.
The 2006 sports coupe, valued at more than $180,000, was engulfed in flames when officers discovered it about midnight Thursday in Emerald Hills off Bethune Court, said San Diego police spokesman Gary Hassen.
The car was sitting on top of plastic milk crates, and all of its wheels were missing, Hassen said.
The luxury car had not yet been reported stolen, Hassen said.
The 23-year-old NFL star lives in Scripps Ranch.
