Have you ever been the victim of a crime, large or small?
Ironic I see this post on Easter Sunday morning... It was around 4am on Easter Sunday a few years back that an arsonist set both my cars and part of my home on fire.
Was it reported to the police?
Yup
Was it solved?
Within 72 hours
Was somebody brought to justice?
By definition, the judge let the man walk with probation despite torching 9 neighborhood cars and causing considerable damage to 2 homes.
Did you get your stuff/mojo back?
Technically, insurance paid the cars off, something I was only a few months from accomplishing myself. I was left on the hook for replacing the vehicles. Homeowners insurance rebuilt the garage.
Walk us through it, with details.
Knock on the door at 4am, I answer it, it's a fireman wanting to know where my fire is. I tell him I've got no fire. I see several firefighters run toward the alley in the back. He joins them. Thinking my aft neighbors house is on fire I run to the back of the house and open the door to enter the garage. I'm greeted by smoke and flame. They fight the fires for about 30 minutes, as the fire chief is discussing possible causes for the fire his radio comes to life with the voice of a dispatcher reporting 2 more car fires in the neighborhood. He says "that's not a coincidence, you can enter the home, don't touch anything ill have an arson investigator here today" at this point the whole army of firefighters rushed a block away to the next set of fires.
They were battling car fires for the next 4 hours
