no no no! This is traceable. Instead of a new house, he could wind up SOL and in jail.
See, if you are going to burn your house down, do it so it looks like an accident. Here are a few ideas that come to mind:
1) Find an out-of-the-way electrical socket, fubar the wiring so it is a fire hazard, plug something into it, let it start the fire, ('lend' your expensive HT and computer stuff to a friend for a few days, do it while your family is awake and downstairs and clothed and shod and stuff). Blame it on the electrician or old wiring (esp. if house is >30 years old.)
2) Do you smoke? Wait until your wife/kids are out, use a cigarette to light your bed on fire. Leave enough dirty cloths/paper/empty pizza boxes on the floor that it spreads rapidly and consumes the house. Don't forget to get yourself out.
3) Again, wait until the family is out, leave your gas on on the stove, use some household device to set it off from a distance: i.e. garage door opener.
4) Hire some kids to do it for you, but make sure they don't see your face or really hear your voice.
5) set your computer on a pile of printer paper and solder wires to bridge random electrical thingies in your PSU, and overclock it to a million gigahertz. Claim the paper was to prevent a mess. Actually, use newspaper.
6) Pile of oily rags+garbage can in closet+claim of ignorance=new house.
7) sabotage your hot water furnice without being obvious about it. When I was a kid my house burnt down because or furnace went to hell at lit our kitchen in fire (this was in Houston, with now basement, so the furnace was in a closet off the kitchen. The house wasn't a total loss, but it was pretty well damaged. Keep a whole lotta straw brooms next to it just to help.
I could think of more, but I am tired.
