Friday
(0)Just as I finished posting the previous, I noticed flashing lights outside. Northern Ireland Fire Department was in the parking lot... someone tried to burn down the small building next to where I live, where the laundry room is.
Fortunately I finished my laundry several hours ago.
Arson. It has to be because one of the flatmates caught an attempt last night and put it out before it caused much damage. Two nights in a row just are not accidents. And that's not to mention a bin fire a couple weeks ago and a car torched while I was away.
Ah, the joys of living not far enough away from a bad area. There are definitely some kids up the road who need an introduction to rock salt... Hmmm. Can't do that here. Have to give the poor dears money instead.
Oh yeah. the second floor is usually occupied by a young family. It's empty at the moment, but...
Dale, As at this point in time no-one is going to help stop the arsonists...
...you could (if you were so inclined) Let the little bastards do you a favour.... Someone is trying to burn your place down - so go with the flow... Double your insurance and then burn the damn place down yourself (if possible arrange for the dear little arsonists to be inside at the time)
... then pick up the insurance and move to a nicer part of town :)

I'm with Joe on this one - double or triple up on insurance, but don't torch it yourself - never do anything for yourself if someone else wil ldo it for you.
