Fire investigator Jack Imrie, of Basildon fire station, said it was a common way for car thieves to remove clues.
He said: "Most Saturday nights we'll be called to one of the retail parks.
"The car crooks drive about, putting stacking cases under the back wheels of front-wheel drive cars and skid about. When they've finished, they set them alight."
