SAN FRANCISCO, 8:38 a.m. PDT September 11, 2003 - A car mechanic thinks he can identify the metal object that came crashing through the roof of a San Francisco home earlier this week.
A 'souped-up' Firebird was stolen and found abandoned near the home damaged by the object. The car is missing its flywheel - a metal part between the transmission and the engine. Auto customizer Jim Chiangi suspects the person who stole the car raced the engine so fast that it broke apart, shooting the flywheel through the hood of the car.
Chiangi told NBC11 News, "It must have sounded like an explosion when this came ripping through the hood. I guarantee that piece must have flown at least 100 feet in the air."
Police say they will look into the theory.
