Angry Arson

I want to find whoever it was who did this to my bike, gear, tools and camping equipment.

Sorry to see this picture. Do you have more details that might assist in your request. The image on its own won't get you far.

Hi.



The bike was in mothers garage in county Durham (she doesn't own it just loaned from friend, as such her house contents insurance doesn't cover the garage contents) where I was preparing bike with luggage and had kit laid out to see where it would all fit.


Picture of the bike in my original post (my first post on Hubb, I'm a newby) shows bike in sunlight that's 'cos the garage completely burnt down.


I'd only just bought the bike and as it wasn't covered by insurance.


News report here - Blaze was arson - police (From The Northern Echo)


I'm saving up again, haven't got a bike yet.


It's been long enough now to assume no ones going to get caught for this.

Was it your garage where the fire started, bit strange they broke a window and poured petrol or something through, unless it was sitting around outside the garage not exactly the behaviour of random vandals or kids.

unluckybob, there really are some tossers about, i hope they catch the idiots that have no respect for the hard earned belongings of others and actually punish them accordingly, not to mention the real danger to all the persons involved including said tossers. hopefuly you will be a luckybob again soon.
all the best mate Jim

sorry to see that...hopefully police will catch them, and the idiots would be thrown into jail...

in these cases we all should remember one fact, keep the materials separated, in case of the fire the damage would be more tolerable...(I almost lost my vehicle during the welding, and the fire extenquister was out of pressure...)
