Mates business been torched... - RacingSnake - 29-03-2012 03:17pm
Pretty gutted, just been in touch with an old buddy of mine.
He inherited the family company a couple of years ago and it's been pretty successful throughout this whole time.
He was called out at the crack of sparrows the other week due to reports of smoke coming from the building, by the time he got there there were 70 firemen and 10 fire trucks.
He wasn't allowed to 'save' any of the assets from his adjacent building which at the time wasn't burning... but then it spread and he lost the lot.

it was started by Ramraiders who broke in stole a couple of items and torched the range rover they used to smash the door down.
I then also see that there is a thread on PH 2 days earlier about the guy who's car had just been stolen
Gutted for my mate, he puts everything into the company, I'm sure he'll bounce back.

Scum Ar******s people who do that sort of thing. I really hope your friend recovers from his loss & they get the ***** who did it. What was the business being operated etc?
I see you state a Range Rover was used in the ram raid
The main reason for silly insurance prices!

He runs the marketing company for honda.
They do all the shows for the cars, bikes and marine.
They do have really good cctv footage of the whole thing, so fingers crossed they do catch the
.They stole a couple of bikes, so hoping to get some details so I can at least keep an eye out and feel like I'm helping in some way

Sorry to hear that, I suspect your'e friend is equally as upset in the fact that he inherrited a business from a loved one & the link is destroyed = very sad! Not to mention the bikes & equipment.
