Oh Mandy you must have all been petrified. *hug* We had snidey kids do the same to us - we had an outhouse joined to our house (old house) and 3 nights running the teenagers rang 999 and told them my house was burning down and the kids were screaming at the windows. On the 4th night, the teenagers actually set fire to the outhouse, obviously thinking the fire brigade wouldn't come because of their previous prank calls. Luckily the fire brigade DID come and everything was okay. Police didn't do anything, said it was kids being kids.  I'm so glad the police are taking things more seriously for you. Hope everything works out ok! |

Huge Hugs.
Will your insurance cover the shed? They will cover the outhouse as its attached to the main residence. Worth checking your policy.

Similar thing happened to my friend, her and her family were on holiday, while they were away some kids smashed there living room window and threw a fire ball in, everything was black with ash, the cieling had burned through to upstairs and everything had to be thrown out, they were devastated and had to live elsewhere for several weeks before the place was rebuilt.
The same thing happened to their neighbours a few days before, luckily they were in and put it out, my friend, not so lucky and many personal and priceless things were destroyed, things that can't be replaced, photos, home videos etc...
i feel sorry for them, they live in a rough area and constanly have hastle, like windows being smashed, they can't have any garden furniture as it all gets stolen in the night etc...
there are some people that just don't deserve to live like that :-(

Sorry to hear that, I blame it on bloody chavs, I hate them and now younger kids are becoming them. I dont know why they want to become people who just get into trouble with the law, agrivate people and have no future. They start smoking when there about 10 years old and they think there just so damn cool. I hate them.

oh tigs if only you knew what i want to say, the words are but i just cant type them, this is really hard for me im scared they were saying something in court about video interviewing the kids, they dont know anything for gods sake, im a prosecution witness so theres a chance i will get called up and i just cant do it i dont want to and i wont it was a careless accident and i know that for a fact, this person would never no matter how drunk hurt anyone  |

I'm trying to understand what you're saying Mandy,yes it may have been a careless accident but what about if things didn't turn out as well as they did and believe me thank god it wasn't a worse outcome at the end of the day people can't behave like that and not get some kind of punishment.
