I leave home for 2 days on the 30th and 31st and when I came back, this is what I found in my back yardA f*** Idiot broke the door of my shed, took the 1 gallon gaz tank, poor it in the pool and put fire on! He also stole my mountain bike.I don't know who made this, but I have clues: He wears Fallen shoes and had a Furum hat... He lost it when he jumped over teh fence and falled in the water.There's something like 3-4000$ in damage (only the swimming pool liner worth 2500$). Lets hope the insurance will cover everything.

wow man, that sucks! damn, it he wanted to steal the bike, whatever, why the hell was it necessary to burn the pool???

That sucks! Did anyone in the area see anything Ben?

What would be the purpose of that??? Some heads need to roll my friend.

man sorry to hear that happened.

The only thing I can presume, he was expecting getting more in the shed, and got frustrated, then burned out the pool!

Ouch! Sorry to hear. I hope your insurance will cover the damages?

I know if the pool brake by ice or something like this it is not covered. But this is vandalism, so I should be covered... I hope, otherwise no pool next summer

i'm sorry to hear that. might have been some dumb kid who was jealous of your pool? i dunno, but i'd certainly be pretty unhappy myself!

What an absolute idiot! Glad no one was hurt and he did not get or do more but my god what a flaming idiot! Just jealous because they do not have nice things themselves.

I hope the insurance does cover everything, and with the arson, hopefully the police will investigate it more than if it was just the bike. I am glad all he burned was the pool, and not the house.

thats horrible, sry to hear about the damage.not that it helps but based off the shoes they may skateboard and the hat they may snowboard.

I made some search and only the liner in the pool worth between 2500 and 3000$, plus the white border will have to be replaced too, so (including the weed eather, the bike and the door) there's something like 4K$ in damage, and this is if we do no find anything else wrong when replacing the liner.

Dude, it's time you invest on a couple of security camera's.Man.. I'd be soo pissed!

Wow Ben, that's aweful. I hope they catch that ******* ASAP!

Son of suck! Man that's horrible.Somebody should take a gas can, pour it down this dillhole's pants, and grab a lighter! I hope you can get everything squared away... Maybe you can luck out and end up with better stuff to replace the stuff this jerk ruined or took. Good luck!

Or some sort of sentry weapon that is motion activated...make sure you tell friends and family though if it is active when you're not home lol.

I have good news (if I can say )My insurance cie contacted me. An inspector will come tomorrow to evaluate the damages. And he confirmed the pool is covered since it is vandalism.

After all, this is an arson case and is considered a serious crime.

They won't spend time an money to trace DNA for a single case like this... But more I think about this story, more I have doubt on who made (more who asked to) do this to my property.... I'll investigate a bit further to clarify my doubt, but there is too much coincidence to be only coincidence. And if my assumption are right, it will not stay like this... Cops will knock to his door for sure!

I'm so sorry to hear of this...I hope they catch this punk!

It hurts the people that you do it to, and you really get nothing out of it, except maybe some cops at your door.Sometimes I don't understand people.....

Last update.Insurance evaluator came this morning. Everything is covered. He will contact a pool specialist to come and see waht we can do to prevent more damage until the spring come and we can replace the liner.
