I guess times are really getting bad for housing. My neighbor across the street has had their house on the market for about two years.
I just pulled up in the driveway and it was on fire. :shock:
Fire Chief just said it was arson. Whoops.
He said, "They picked the wrong time of day to do this. It would have burned to the ground had it been at night."

Yep. Somebody just stepped in a big ole' pile of doo doo.
I have to say I'm not surprised, though. They're the kind of folks who turn the other way when you wave and have screaming slap fights at three in the morning.

Guess the non-sale of their house will be the least of their problems now.
Yep. My neighbor saw them leaving right before it went up. Wonder what the punishment is for arson.

I am not a fan of your neighbors, but love your Fire Chief! :rofl:

I would not want to be on his bad side. I imagine arson probably ticks him off. People aren't thinking about things like a fire fighter could be injured while putting out a fire they started.
I wonder if they'll have to pay the fire department for all of this work they're doing? There are about nine fire vehicles over there. $$$
Those people are screwed.

Take it easy on the firebugs, they were obviously suffering from a severe case of pre-foreclosure dysphoric disorder (PFDD) and should be treated with compassion.
got any pics?
Wow

I think they are suffering from a prolonged case of cranial-rectal inversion!

Well it is now 9:20PM and the fire department has pulled all their burnt up junk all out in the yard and the owner has yet to come by and see what happened to the house. 
Interesting huh? Don't you think if your house burned up you'd be there looking through your things?
Fire Marshall Bill said a pile of clothes in the middle of the floor had been set on fire.

Maybe they didn't like those clothes.

I love that you hit 3000 posts on a thread about arson.

It's no wonder why he hasn't shown up:
(1) If he set the house on fire, he probably took all the "good stuff" to a storage unit before striking the match.
(2) If he shows up, he'll probably be "taken in for questioning."

Can you imagine what that number would be if I were still sitting in that stupid cubicle?

Funny you should say that because they loaded up about three trailers full of things last week. Not kidding.

These folks aren't too smart are they. Unless they're looking for some free meals and lodging??

They have some serious issues. I know it sounds like I've got it out for these folks, but they just bring it on themselves. Their adult son came over and rang the door bell late one night (remember they have never spoken a word to me) and said, "You got any ketchuuuup?"
"Yeah, I got it at Publix on aisle 9."
