Firefighters II

[poliphilo]

The kids had another go at burning down the fence on the far side of the back alley- only this time there were five of them when I went out with my bowl of water and  I got shouted at and had burning sticks waved in my face. I decided (if indeed you actually make decisions in these situations) that I'd call their bluff and just get on with the job- so I did and came out of it unscathed- but it has rattled me some.

Yikes. Can you talk to your other neighbors about the problem? Perhaps they can identify the parents in question...

Our neighbours are mostly Asian. These kids were white. They'll be from near at hand but not from our street.
