I think being kicked out of the service is the least of their worries right now. I would not like to be in their shoes, their actual names and the roads they live in has been published in the newspaper.

In what is a professional public service it makes me thoroughly sick to read this. I just hope they get the harshest sentence possible....if only for your sake Pete.

That's disgusting!! One thing you can take out of it is that they have been caught and if the systems works correctly they will get what they have coming to them!!

I hope I'm there to see justice served.  The hearing is the the 28th April at the Shrewsbury magistrates court, I don't know how these things work but I'd love to go to it and see the look on their faces in court. I sincerely hope they get a custodial sentence.

One thing I don't understand is why are they only getting charged for conspiracy to damage and not arson?

First I've read of this and can't quite believe it. Can't imagine how angry that would leave me.

 

Did you go along to the trial? Just alone to ask them why they moved on from bins to torching someone's prized possession? fcuking scum. Can't stand people that don't respect other's possessions.

 

 

That's disgusting!! One thing you can take out of it is that they have been caught and if the systems works correctly they will get what they have coming to them!!

 

 

Slap on the wrist and back out into the open world to disrespect more people's hard worked for stuff.

A friend had a similar problem, criminal damage to car, if they plead guilty I don't think you can even send a letter to the court to put a victim statement in.

Here is an interesting twist in the tale of my poor old VXT:

110 miles to get to work these days. I think I'd rather a dose of gonorrhea than do that commute in a VX. I'm driving something a bit boring softer these days.
