Thanks everyone.  Spent today pulling down all the loose unsafe timbers, slates, beams, bricks etc.  Filthy, smelly, horrid work.  Anyone it's now as safe as we can make it until we figure out what to do next.

I discovered today that there is an item missing from my shed so went walkabout to see if it had been discarded anywhere.  Stumbled on a rather nasty weapon where the arsonists had exited the site.  It was CID and SOCO who did the work on the fire and they weren't interested in the shed break-ins so I called mine in myself today and then called back when I found what I found.  They're interested now!  Sent two officers today to take details and forensics tomorrow.

So sorry that this has happened to you Ceres. would have seen the post before but having to use Tones laptop and don't like it much. Its a rotten feeling when scum like this attack. I do hope that you all get over this very soon. We all seem absolutely helpless against these thugs. Police have their hands tied too. Too many bluddy do gooders around to get any justice

Sorry to hear this. Hope the offenders are caught. What weapon did you find?

[tonybloke]

the police seem to have a policy of not catching burglars, if they caught them, crime figures / rates would fall, and so would the police budget!!  ;)

They even turned up at my mates 'pooter shop / repair workshop with the sirens blaring to scare the burglars off when he 'phoned to report some-one on his roof early one morning (he often works late fixing 'pooters)

Just read the posting. So very sorry that you hand your fellow plotters have suffered such a terrible disaster. You must all be feeling pretty low. From your posting you seem to be a positive bunch and are managing to pick up the pieces. Why, oh why do some people act in this way? They sure have no repsect for anyone or anything. I think this is a strong case for bringing back National Service to teach the little 'darlings' right and wrong.
Wishing you all the very best and hope that things start to look up for you all. As for the police, they are usually a bit busy honing in on unsuspecting motorists where they can claw in the fines. Probably a bit unkind, but real crime that needs sorting appears to take a back seat.

Sickening - only word for it.
Our best wishes for the future!

   Can't tell you how sorry and sad I feel,  this sort of crime has no meaning !  What do they

   get from it   ---   a drug fuled  ' jolly ',   

   When they catch them , and I really hope they do  --   the police  should bring them down to

   face you and hopefully will feel the full extent of your misery at thier hands.

   So sorry to hear this ceres,  wished I lived nearer and could help,
