At about 2200hrs last night some one decided it would be great fun to place a firework either under or near a car situated at top of everingham close longley estate the result being a massive flash and bang causing massive damage to the vehicle did not hear the bang myself was listening to a CD through headphones but saw the tremendous flash neighbours tell me the close shook with the explosion luckily no one was injured but caused a lot of panic with the children any one else hear the same.

I was walking to a friends in Southy Green when I noticed someone in his driveway shaking his head along side his burnt out car.
I asked him what had happened.
This was his reply.Yobs smashed the window of my car and threw in a fire work and ran.
The car had exploded, fuel tank and all, and caused major damage to his house destroying the wiring.
The car was four weeks old and a shell still smouldering.

This is what happens with fireworks in the wrong hands.
The culprits have not been caught.

I'll say no more.:loopy:

Merged your post with Martino's as they are similar. You might be interested to see the police are doing well (according to their own stats!) - read this (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?threadid=4397).

Thanks Geoff thats fine.
Martino1 I don't think ours are related because the incident happened on Kynarvey Rd off Moonshine lane, but both are a serious criminal act and the sooner they get these idiots the better.

Perhaps it's the same group with it been in such close proximity

My brother told me of a couple on the Badger estate in Woodhouse on Wednesday.

There's been stuff like this going on im home city of Liverpool for the past 2 months. By Bonfire night we'd had 31 phone booths, 15 post boxes, 35 cars and 7 houses damaged or destroyed. Add to that the biggest car bomb in Britain in 10 years 2 weekends ago and a massive gangland feud causing havoc across the city, it's been an exciting fireworks season.
