No matter where I am, I always seem to stumble upon interesting things. This morning I woke up to see about 25 Police cars parked all around me. My first thought was 'Oh SHIT! They found me!' But, when I saw the fire trucks out there, I knew I wasn't on fire, so I was relieved that they must be here for somebody else. A friend of mine has been nice enough to let me park my motorhome behind his office building for a few days while I finish up a few jobs I'm doing. Right next door is an Italian restaurant. Apparently a disgruntled employee broke in sometime overnight and spraypainted the walls. He smashed some water pipes, so the whole inside was flooded. But... Here's my favorite part... He opened all the valves on the gas stove, broke off the handles so they couldn't shut the gas off, and left the ignitors on. By some miracle, the place didn't blow up. Now this kind of freaks me out, because I'm parked about 100 feet away. The place is made of brick. So, I could easily have had hundreds of bricks flying through the side of my motorhome.
In case there was any doubt who did it. Last night, they fired a bus boy. The sign says "YOU TOOK MY BUS, FUCK YOU" He might as well have signed his name on there too. Now the spraypaint, and water is one thing. But... Leaving on the gas... AND THE IGNITORS... I hear they want to charge him with attempted murder. AND... They're NOT going to offer him back his job. I offered to snap some photos for them, for their insurance, that's how I got the shot. This is a wall mural in the dining room.
OK... This just added. (3 weeks later) Apparently it wasn't the Bus boy after all. There's a . after the Bus. It stood for business. It ended up being a disgruntled, former business partner.
