So last Thursday night 3am to be precise I get a call from the police advising me my business is on fire! 30 mins later and I'm there, looking at the car park which is alight, more to the point 7 cars and a 40ft fridge bodied trailer. I cant describe how my heart sank at that moment. Luckily the building was unscathed due to the fast response of the fire brigade who thank god are based 3 mins away.
In the cold light of day I lost 7 cars and a trailer, thankfully no injuries to personnel. I have a sideline in motors which is an extra revenue stream and it all helps to keep things ticking over. Monitory loss was just under ?40k which was not insured as the sale of cars is not part of my regular or main business.
Due to police response and CCTV the culprits were caught making away from the scene. Now here's the clincher! Three males were caught, two of them were 14 yrs old and one was 12 yrs old!!!!!!
Questions?
What the hell were 3 kids doing out at that time of night?
Where the hell was the parental control?
Why would anyone commit such an act to what benefit?
Regrettably as a direct consequence I've had to lay off two people because I cant afford to pay them, valued members of my staff through no fault their own. We are working even harder to get things back on an even keel so I can get these people back to work. Ill finish off where I started.... What the hells going on!
