Up In Smoke
« on: February 20, 2004, 18:50:23 »
Four sheds have been torched on the far end of our site recently.

But none this week - half term.  Funny that.

They seem to be set on fire around 7.30 - 8.30am - most of the early risers work on the end near the retirement flats, so wouldn't see anything.

The kids are back next week, so we'll keep on eye open.

The Site Sec tells us to be nice to the kids so as not to antagonise them.  Quite a lot of us are hoping his "Crystal Palace" gets it next.

How can you possibly be nice to kids that do that?   ???  :-/

Just a thought - maybe the ones doing it are on holiday with their parents, or more likely, little s.ds are having a lie in 'cause it's the hols.
Hope they don't start again.

Oh Lynn

Our large metal gates are tied together with blue towing rope the thin nylon stuff. The little tw*ts tried to burn it with which looked like lighters must have took them a while to do it. But why nothing better to do bored etc. why dont they go and burn the sheets on their beds or something else at home.
The answer  parents look after their ofspring 24/7,
ban school hols or children from the age of 13 should be sent to work with animals,senior citizens or young disable people to learn to respect other people and themselves.
Now I get off my soap box

Further update....

The same to brats were spotted this morning, pouring paint into one of the water tanks.  They legged it before the gates could be unlocked, but we've got the police involved now, and I've bought a disposable camera for the next time!
