What the F@#K is this world coming to!!!

I was awoken at 5AM this morning by two loud explosions. I grabbed my dressing gown, boots and trusty 6D maglite and go out the front door to investigate.

I find our neighbours car parked on the street in front of our house ablaze. I also hear another car start up and drive off with no lights on but I didn't see anyone.

Looks like a couple of molitov cocktails thrown inside has got things burning nicely. I run back in and tell Lily to call the fire brigade and then run out the back to grab the garden hose and hook it on the tap in the front yard. Other people in the street are coming out now to see what's going on. The flames are a good 12 foot high at this stage and the neighbours fence and trees are in danger. I stood back as far as the hose would spray and tried to damp the flames down. The garden hose didn't do much but the flames probably dropped to 8 foot and nothing else caught alight. I was worried about the fuel tank going up so I stayed at the front and sprayed through the windscreen.

The car belonged to my neighbours daughter and she is hysterical at this stage.

None of my neighbours could find a hose long enough to reach so we had to wait for the brigade to turn up. They tuned up 15 minutes later and had it all out in another 15 minutes. I've never seen a serious car fire like this before, it was pretty intense.

The Police turned up another 20 minutes later to investigate. Turns out there have been about 15 cars stolen and burned in our area in the last few months.

This is supposed to be a quiet neighbour hood??!! What the hell do I do now?

If they catch these scumb bags I'd gladly toss the molitov cocktail in their car while they are tied up in the boot.

Not happy.
