Yes really, the driver's door fried in place. Take a closer look and observe that the door is in the closed position.

On a more serious note, I feel bad for the owner......it has to be awful to watch your car burn. unless that is what you want......
Suspicious mind....if anyone wanted to get out of ownership of a car like this - it wouldn't be that much of a hard sell.

Ummmm, what? Upon closer observation I duly noted the door is in the unopen position...which is kinda what I alluded to when I mentioned the recovery vehicle operator...ah, never mind. The door fried in place.

I would think there would be something structural there....
And how is composite material not structural?

Diamond and Cirrus Aircraft are 99% Composite Material. Comprised of Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP or Fiberglass), Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP or Carbon Fiber), Foam Core, and Kevlar. The only metal on a Diamond Aircraft is the Engine, Propeller, Engine Mounts, Engine Horse Collar and gear. The 'Firewall' is Fiberglass with a thin sheet of finger slicing .010" 301 1/4 Hard Stainless. Where the Spring Steel Gear Mounts to the Fuselage is Composite. As are all of the spars, bulkheads, longerons, fuselage, empenage, stabilizers, and flight control surfaces.

OMG, someone stole the hood and the passenger door before it burned! This is a clear indication of arson and the owner was simply trying to part it out before torching it.
