HOUSTON -- A Houston-area high school chemistry teacher is accused of enlisting two students to torch her car so she could get the insurance money.

Prosecutors say the teacher, who was months behind on her car payments, offered passing grades to the failing students if they stole her Chevrolet Malibu and burned it.

Authorities say the car was set afire on May 27 -- the last day of school. The teacher reported the theft that day. The car was found this month in a wooded area.

The teacher has been charged with insurance fraud and arson, and the two students have been charged with arson.

What people will do to get money nowadays. When you dont make enough legally, then they turn to illegal ways to get it. Houston sucks anyway, im so glad I moved out of that city 3 years ago....it sickens me.
