People throughout France are anxiously awaiting this years tally. A curious tradition has become the "norm" each New Years Eve since the early '90s. This wonderful celebration is most evident in France's "sensitive urban zones" according to - believe it or not - France's
Observatory of Sensitive Urban Zones.
Seems that groups of disaffected youths - many of them Muslim - do not want France, let alone the world, to forget that they exist. So, with nothing to amuse them, they torch cars for fun no doubt while chanting "death to the west" or some such other BS.

New Year's Eve in Hautpierre |
Last years lofty goal reached ~1,137 cars during New Years, an increase of 30% from 2008 with the grand total of ~12,874 cars in 2009. This has become a competition from neighborhood to neighborhood to see who can create the most car carnage. Oh what fun!

New Year's Eve fun in Strasbourg - 2009 |
What does French president Nicolas Sarkozy intend to do this year - other than try to cover it up? ("I have decided to put an end to the competition, the sweepstakes, and will no longer publish the number of burned vehicles," Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux said this week)
Why deploy an additional 6,000 cops. Mon dieu!
Nick, that's NOT the answer - profiling and deportation ARE.
HAPPY NEW YEAR from SharkyandSharky
