'This is an unsettling crime, a horrific act,' Eaton told NBC Bay Area.
'The potential for other people to get hurt through the vehicle catching fire next door, the building, someone walking by ... it's extremely unsettling for sure.

'Right now it appears to be a random act,' he said.
Steve Cox said he gave spare change to the alleged attacker minutes before the fire.
'He didn’t seem like he was going to harm anybody. He wasn’t very aggressive or anything. I mean, asking for change, he seemed like a nice guy,' Cox said.
'I’m really surprised about what happened. It’s outrageous.'

One witness said he's seen the suspect, Clark, often around the neighborhood.
'He's always outside the 7-Eleven asking for money and smoking cigarettes,' the man, who did not want to be identified, told the Los Angeles Daily News.
Shannon Flynn, 16, of Long Beach, said the victim 'was engulfed in flames. The fire was so big, people were screaming. I just can't believe this happened here.'
Robert Linkroum saw Clark approaching the SUV and described him as a man 'walking on a mission' as he threw what looked like a bottle into the vehicle.
