My shop was on fire

[Bigfellani5]

Hi guys

Someone broke into my shop last night and set it on fire. A lot of smoke damage. I am still selling online but orders over the next few weeks could be slow as I have to get new stock in to replace damaged stock. Will have my shop back open as soon as I can. Keep an eye on my Facebook page for updates.

That's really bad news Bigfellani, sorry to hear of it.

I hope everything returns to normal as quickly as possible and that they catch those responsible for it.

That's a real bummer. I suppose lots of water damage as well as fire damage too.

Sorry to hear that Shane, hope you're back up and running soon.

Sorry to hear that, I hope everything was covered by your Insurance and that you recover quickly. :friends:

Thanks guys. A little water damage but mostly smoke. Black stuff everywhere. Hope to be back in action in no time. The insurance man should come through. Hope to be in full swing again by Newcastle coins  10th birthday in May.

wow that suck. I am sorry to hear, hope your insurer does all they needs to in order to get you back on your feet!

bummer
were they more vandals than professional thieves?
hope that you can get the business back to normal ASAP (with a little bit of 'hassle free' help from the insurance too)

[oh my florin]

I hope you are back in action soon mate.

Hey Bigfellani, Thats terrible news mate.. Hope things will get better soon.. All the best ...

Yeah,hope your got Insurance,i just saw your shop on NBN News,they certainly made a mess.
Barry Cooper in Ballina had a similar thing,minus fire, some time back,thieves broke front window and grabbed anything they could but fortunately he had everything of real value locked in his big safe(looked like one out of a Hollywood Western).They did get some old Pound/Shilling notes and unbelievably went straight to the local Pub and more unbelieavably the Publican cashed the notes in for grog,didn't take the Police long to grab them so i hope the same happens to your ratbags.

No nice stuff got away. All can be replaced. It will be the time closed that will hurt. Won't get my daily coin fix!

That's bloody awful. What kind of bastards will set fire to things they couldn't steal? This is like Saddam Hussein setting fire to Kuwait oil fields.

It is more common nowadays as thieves try to destroy any DNA evidence they may have left behind
