Now we are on to a different argument entirely.....
(However, thats like saying the victim of mugging is to blame because he had a nice iplayer that the mugger wanted....
In other words, don't blame the owners, blame the scrotes who get their kicks from arson.....)

yes the councils try to get hold of owners
no not the same un occupied homes are far more likely to be vandalised or set on fire most insurance companies wont even insure them for that very reason
this is not just a risk for the owner but all those living by it and those like firemen who still have to turn out to take care of it
maybe they should make owners take third party insurance out if they dont wish the councils to use them !
