An arson attempt in 1996 in a polyethylene-recycling factory near the city of Ghent, Belgium, failed through the action of the security guard. The guard caught the offenders while they were starting fires at two different locations. The guard extinguished the fires, but the offenders fled. There were no traces of a burglary found inside the factory. An extensive examination involving analysis of the samples and consulting relevant literature revealed that if the fire had not been extinguished, the factory would have been severely damaged.
