So sad when criminals cash in on the misfortune of others.

This type of thing happens all too frequently here, in times like these :-|

Why do some have a tendency to behave badly when they think no one is looking? :-0

I can't answer that, Dermot, but if I expressed my true feelings about these low-life, and what I'd like to do to them, I would quite rightly be RR'd and probably banned for life from this site.

I expect that that is partly why homeowners decide to stay and fight the fire.....

I don't think it is physically possible anyway, Allan.

The sphincter is too strong.

How awful but sadly too frequent.

Allan ................

it happens over here as well. There were looters during our worst fire seasons in summer 2017 and 2018.

RCMP patrolled the areas, but then the army was brought in to also help with patrolling and manning road barriers.

But there's always a back way in, and someone who will take advantage.


Worse might be those who deliberately set fires :-| :-P
