Garage Burnt Down!!! 2 Locosts Gone !!!
Long story short: These pictures are what is left of my 2 part built locosts  Some local f***** neds broke into my lock up around 5 0'clock
this morning and stole my Discovery alloy wheels and then set fire to the garage. This is a list of what i can remember what was in it. 3 crossflow
engines (1 an early xr2), 2 mk2 escort gearboxes (1 a GT),1 type 9 box,1 sierra 4x4 box,2 mk2 escort axles,1sierra lsd complete axle,1 ford dohc
engine (no loss there), lots of alloy wheels ,steel wheels and lots more that i can't bear to think about yet. Some of the stuff i have
collected over 20 years. The chassis in the middle of the pile belongs to my 14 year old son and all of his running gear is now gone as well Some
good news i got the disco wheels back from the police tonight. I am gutted beyond belief
My eldest son still has his part built locost and running gear etc in my father in laws garage so will get on with that.
B******
Escort axle and alloys
Sierra LSD back end etc
DOHC 4x4 gearbox and in front of that a minimig welder
Propshaft exploded in the heat!!
Just having a small drinkie just now 
Cheers

That is absolutely gutting
Were you insured? If so then you can always look on the bright side - a load of shiny new tools and locost parts!
Edit: Few seconds late on the insurance bit. Hope it turns out OK!

Really sorry for you - Makes me sick to my stomach that there are twats like this about that just don't give a sod for anyone but themselves
There's enough quarries left in the country. Barbed wire around the edge, a small hammer each and 2 tonnes of hard rock to pound into dust every
day in exchange for water and rice, 1 day off a month and keep this up for 5 years would seem a nice cheap and efficient solution to give them enough
time to consider their behaviour in my book...
If you pay peanuts...
Mentale, yar? Yar, mentale!
Drive it like you stole it!

For me when I had a big fire, the worst part was finding the remains of stuff that had no real pound note value but stuff that I had collected over
years and years. Even 4 years later, I'm realising gear that I lost! The biggest loss for me was the GSXR Powered Reliant Rebel that I had taken
four years to get to the rolling shell stage but it only ever drove up the road once before it was turned into a pile of fluffy glass wool.
For me, the insurance didn't cover 'things with wheels and garage tools'. I hope youhad better cover than me.
I did get to meet the tw4t who burnt my sheds down as it was my wuck fitted step father...........

Each year I believe even stronger that the punishment should fit the grime.
Lop their fingers off for the theft bit.
Tie them to a stake and barbeque them for the arson.
Gutted for you mate. That level of destruction is just not on.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

That is truly awful!
And then you'll probably have to clear it up.
If the police got the wheels back don't they know who had them ?
If they do, try to get them to charge culprits with arson, rather than malicious damage. Arson is treated second only to murder in terms of
seriousness (hangover from days when the ruling classes were the ones with property )
You have all my sympathies.
