burnt out 190 smiley hi top ARSON.

Postby john leeman » Mon Aug 20, 2007 11:02 pm

My son Kevin was woken up sunday early to find the fire brigade putting out the cab fire on his beloved smiley hi top 190 van. He had looked after for months. It was allready a brilliant van with no damage what so ever. beind R reg and very low mileage, with only one previous owner, who looked after it like a baby. He used it to move into his new house, the landlord had his previous two cars fired at this address, they must have thought that the van was his. Words fail me. Good parts on spares for sale on this site.

Gee makes you go insane, here a person who commits such a crime would generaly be his last as a 9mm bullet will 99% of the time get loge in his limp brain, think Im joking, well Im not and I like it.

I just hope when 2010 comes here yobs from the UK dont do stupid things like scratch cars, smash windows ect.

I hope they catch the b*stards

Thing is, can't do sod all with the evidence legally. And if you use it to find the scroates and string them up etc, you'll get prosecuted. You can see why people leave this country for others.

CCTV footage can be used in a court, trust me I nailed a neighbour from hell who forked the side of my Audi A6 on 2 accounts and found guilty twice as the car was forked on two seperate days.

Footage must be given to police so they can take it further

I know what a would do to the b,stards,. Thanks all for your kind words of support. A very nice area, neighbours horrified, Police only give a crime No. Still plenty of spares, A sad end for a very good van.
