I've seen the same things happen with paperweights and ornaments/vases.

One of my friends actually had a pile of paperwork start smouldering on a=20
sunny day.

I felt compelled to share what happened this week.........
In the interests of recycling everything , I used the front lens of a=20
projection TV to winterize a window.
The lens is a flat piece of plastic about 3mm thick.  I guess it is a=20
fresnel lens.
I cut it to fit the window and installed it as an additional transparent=20
layer.
I thought nothing of it until today when I happen to look at the stereo=20
receiver sitting near the window.
The top of the receiver and two of the knobs were partially melted.
So now I am removing the plastic.
