If your business was torched it is indeed arson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyCarlton Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Why do people immediately jump to the worst case scenario? Both the tent and the saleng parked next to it would have been pretty flammable. A number of innocent causes could have led to the fire. Stove left on, rogue firework or even kids messing around (it was Mischief Night). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe they tried to get away without paying special tax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
