Don't leave crystal balls on your windowsills you could burn your house down.

just noticed smoke coming through what I though was the window, turned out it was a CB magnifying the sun on my UPVC widowsil..

Caught it before it caught a proper light.
 
They were discussing this on the radio the other day, seems it's not that uncommon and a few people that phoned in weren't as "lucky" as you. Seems there have also been a few issues with fish tanks as well. !
 
I've done something similar with the little magnifying mirror I used to use so I could put my contact lenses in - managed to melt part of the window frame!

That was before I could do it without a mirror :naughty:
 
Quite a few years ago, I used to juggle and had a pair of clear plastic balls for manipulation (contact juggling). In the box was a warning about leaving them in full sunlight - surprised there isn't one in crystal ball packaging. Maybe the manufacturers think the buyer should be able to foresee the potential problem!

hence the warning on McDonald's coffee following a law suit caution hot! :D
 
Sorry to disappoint you lot.

E2A It was left by my ex so I never took any notice until there was fire.
