Homeless crazies or punk wannabe gangsters, place your bets. Both are anti-social and need to be come down on.
No sources of electricity, natural gas or flammable solvents, just sports equipment. If this was arson, whoever did it, there’s a special place for you in hell.
I hope there’s some kind of surveillance cam footage from nearby residences or businesses available to show what happened and if it was purposely set.
