So I jump in the 100 after it sitting a few days and I find this what looks to be burnt marks on my seat and center console lid. Weird! Did the sun get magnified somehow and create this? Scratching head for sure

THIS! Focused sunlight caused this damage. Are there any defects in the windshield to act as a convex lens?Looks like heat damage so concentrated sun light plus time may explain it. If this is sun damage then you should be able to figure out the direction the sun was moving and see variance in angle/strength over time. Perhaps there were focused dots that moved over time causing those stripes?
Could you park in the same place during the middle of the day, or whenever this may have happened, to see if you can figure this out? I assume it was somewhere in the 10 am to 4 pm range roughly when the sun would be stronger and higher in the sky.
yes trucked locked. totally bizarreThat's just bizarre...was your truck locked? I don't see how that could happen without someone purposely doing it.
as far as I know these are original to the cruiser. so seats should be leather , no? center console top hmmm?The areas that are burned do not appear to be leather.
This is a mystery! If the Sun move from front of the vehicle to rear, then the burnt marks should go parallel to the length of the vehicle.Was parked facing east in driveway just beside the house. over the weekend maybe I can recon during the day to see what if any "beams' of light strike that area

If this damage is indeed from concentrated sunlight I imagine that reflection was involved and that reflection on one/more surfaces could explain the possibly inverse direction of the burns and sun's travel.If the Sun move from front of the vehicle to rear, then the burnt marks should go parallel to the length of the vehicle.
theres no way someone wouldnt notice that, it would have been actually smoking, and there isnt a staight line for something flat to do that, it conforms to the curvesMarks are too uniform for like magnifying glass heat burns, you had to have laid something across that in the past and just haven't noticed it until now.
