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.

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.

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.

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.
