Arson

[Hans Mum]

All thats left of my shed some b***rd torched my shed (& those belonging to the other officers of the site)

I am so hacked off everything has gone, all those useful bits you collect over the years as well as all my tools some of which were my dads (RIP) or presents from DD, friends, etc. All my seeds & as fellow seedaholics will know thats not a couple of packs, even my saved seeds
I dont even have a plant label left to my name - I'm taking a few days out to think about whether I want to continue with my plot as it seems this is a member of the site but without evidence nothing can be done and to rub salt into the wounds, pic is my old shed - I moved plots a week or so ago and put a new shed on new plot - the person concerned realised their mistake after torching old shed & came back on wednesday night & torched my new shed!!!!! 2 sheds burnt to the ground in a couple of days + the 2 sheds belonging to the other 2 officers = 4 sheds in 5 days. Who said allotments were places to relax.....

That's sh1t.........do I take from the email about the 2nd lock that you think it was a keyholder?

Darling, I am sooooo sorry. I cannot even begin to comprehend how you must be feeling.

(((((((((Hugest HUGS)))))))))

yep...............

[Bigmallly]

yep...............

Ok, my initial thought was that it maybe one of the payback kids that have just been on site.

You know my thoughts already HM - but its a thousand times worse than I thought.
Do you have site insurance that might help towards replacing what you've lost - even though much of it is irreplacable?

no......only the Officers sheds have been torched, and they wouldnt know who they are & certainly which sheds were ours

No insurance doesnt cover individuals sheds and property.....its not just the cost its the stuff such as my dads tools which can never be replaced and the actions are very targeted and personal....

[Bigmallly]

They knew yours & wondered if any of them had a record for arson.......just got my detective head on as I can't see any members wanting to go to such drastic measures.

[Potstubsdustbins]

HM words fail me. But don't let the bstewards win. Keep your plot without a shed, let it be know far and wide that you and the others are looking for the culprit and any evidence you do glean will be passed on to the police.

Potty

They had been vetted & were mostly drunk & disorderly offences.....they did know mine but A hasnt been on site for a few weeks due to ill health so they wouldnt know where his was.......

[VirginVegGrower]

That's pretty petty and a real dumb ass thing to do. I am so sorry for all you've lost. But why are they targeting you three specifically? Seems odd behaviour.

[veggiechicken]

How do the other's who had their sheds torched feel about it? If you all walk away from the site, the arsonist has won.
Are there any other Officer's sheds that haven't been targetted - and do they feel vulnerable now. Can you set up security cameras to keep an eye on these to see if they are to be attacked too?
Sorry about all the questions

The 3 targetted are the Officers of the association

Nope 3 officers & only our sheds. We're looking at CCTV installation.

Point taken, it was just a thought.
