Doubtfire house on fire
A woman has been arrested following an arson attack on the famous house from the Robin Williams film Mrs Doubtfire, according to reports. The woman, 25-year-old Tyqwon Eugenen Welch, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, criminal threats, trespassing, arson, and possession of an incendiary device, a San Francisco police spokesman told The LA Times. Police said petrol was poured onto the doormat and set alight, but it was quickly put out. The homeowner, plastic surgeon Douglas Ousterhout, said he could smell gasoline and called police when he saw the door mat smouldering. The blaze damaged the home's front door and garage. The house, located in the Pacific Heights area of San Francisco, has become a popular tourist destination since the film was released in 1993. It was also turned into a memorial following Mr Williams' suicide last August, and what Welch did to it was a crime not only against the homeowner but also Robin Williams' legacy. What if 1619 Pine Street (Mork and Mindy's address in Boulder, Colorado) was next? Or the bench from Good Will Hunting?
