An Audi, made from Aluminium.
A good few years back, there was an article in the local paper about an Audi A2 that had been dumped and set a light that was involved in some crime. The police were appealing for people in the area, asking if anyone had seen a car that has been cut up/ dismantled, prior to being set a light. Obviously, the car had not been dismantled, but the heat had caused the aluminium to melt leaving just a chassis. I thought this wild goose chase was rather amusing.

I think you'll find it burns rather than melts if you get it hot enough.A good few years back, there was an article in the local paper about an Audi A2 that had been dumped and set a light that was involved in some crime.

So i found the article from 2016, obviously being 7 years ago, my account slightly differs from what actually happened, it was the fire service who thought the car had been dismantled.

Am i right in thinking that the aluminium had "burnt" away and the car had not actually been dismantled? I may be completely wrong.

That seems correct. Here's an F-Pace, 80% aluminium.
