There are a number of "well known to the police" types living here but that's a rant for another day...

Where is 'here' ? Just curious.

I live pretty close to downtown Toronto; a few blocks away from Yonge Street, aka "Fun Street". Unfortunately the area that I live in is run down & seedy. The neighbourhood is overrun with drop-in centres so it attracts a lot of trash. The church just down the street from me causes a lot of problems by handing out free meals & clothing to the addicts so there's no incentive for them to get off drugs & straighten themselves out. I may sound harsh but the garbage that these addicts have put us decent tenants through snuffed out any sense of sympathy that I once had for them a long time ago.

Like I said before, I wish that I could move out of the area but I just can't afford it.

Whats with everyone and cussing lately?

I sympathise with you though, Murr. Unfortunately, I doubt when I study psychology I'll make dent in the nuances of man.

Murr, stay safe my friend - may you be protected and watched over through this.

With that said - if you can, let a trusted neighbor know your going to be up and keeping watch for a few nights (so your not picked up as the arsonist), make sure your armed, and solve the problem yourself. Technically - the person is trying to burn down your home, thus your within your rights to cap them in self defence. At least, you would in in the US, don't know about Canadian law though.
