What a terrible run of bad luck they've had especially as the circumstances make them look like a.pair of wrong 'uns when they're, clearly, just in the wrong place at the wrong time with a digger just standing by.

Had me in the first half
Hope this develops like a proper soap story line. Serial ~~killer~~ arsonist keeps getting away with it due to a series of annoying injustices but finally gets their comeuppance when they do one ~~murder~~ fire too many.
I hope they’re finally brought down by some plucky kids on BMXs who have teamed up with a friendly talking robot / alien / monster.
Seems like the famous five got upgrades.
That last paragraph is a killer. Some good old proper investigative journalism by the Beeb, here.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Adam Taylor is director of AT Contracting and Plant Hire Ltd, which, according to Land Registry documents, owns the Finmere site.
His wife, Carly, controls the company ATE Farms Limited, which bought the "wonky" Black Country landmark in July.
Mrs Taylor also currently controls AT Contracting and Plant Hire Ltd, which the BBC understands rented a digger a week before flames engulfed The Crooked House on 5 August.
Protests against The Crooked House's destruction weeks after it was sold by previous owner Marston's have seen signs and other tributes placed among the rubble.
A nearby notice states two adjacent footpaths have been closed to the public by Staffordshire County Council, including one leading to the pub's car park, due to concerns over the instability of the ground.
Dudley North MP Marco Longhi said a public meeting at Himley Hall on Wednesday at 18:00 BST would be a chance for concerned residents to "vent their anger" and voice ideas for the building's future.
