Police were called to Massey Avenue in Vance Estate to investigate a stolen vehicle.
The white Nissan Navara ute was allegedly taken at around 3.20am last Thursday.
Other vehicles in the area appeared to have been broken into, with tools stolen.
The car was later located by police behind the MET School on Poplar Avenue.
Because of its close proximity to Massey Avenue, the car was left in place.
Later that day the RFS was called to Poplar Avenue. The car had been set alight and the flames had spread, causing a small grass fire. Police said the fire was deliberately lit.
Police are appealing for anyone with further information to contact police on 6969 4310.
