I reckon they've seen a similar story in their local FB Group and it's given them an idea. A few days ago there was a post about an arson attack on a house a few miles down the road from them, where some windows were smashed and a fire started by intruders.
In reality, if anything really did happen then it'll be Creepy running over the lawnmower and blowing it up or getting too excited with his weed burner wand....or whoever was minding Tat & Me accidentally caused slight damage burning rubbish or something like that.
In March 2023, when they first got back from the Arctic, they went shopping for a new pressure washer because the old one had blown up. I distinctly remember because Creepy said the back of the house was covered in moss but Sarah called it soot. The way she said it suggested it was a dig at somebody. I wonder if it could've been something to do with that and Esme has the date slightly out.
So they're saying that this attack happened around 1.5 to 2.5 YEARS ago, yet they've not changed their ways until now, leaving the girls home alone in the meantime etc. Yeah, whatever!
