I think my smoke shop has finally been barbequed. It's hard to tell because the only article is in the hs. I guess after the 100th, it's no longer news. It was a good run. RIP.
Update: It's not my shop. It lives another day. Phew.
Copy the article link and paste it into this site

Thank you kind soul. I've tried this and it hasn't worked for me.

Holy shit. Thank you my friend.
oh wow, a car and arson at the same time.
I feel for the businesses next to them that get fire damaged as well.
Yeah that's the thing. It impacts surrounding businesses.
That's the standard way they are doing it - steal car, fill with flamabble stuff, drive it through the front of the shop and set it on fire.
