Mate that is horrible news.. Some people are so thick or naive that they don't think about the consequences that will come come from those sorts of actions. That is the nicest way I can say how I feel about this event.. I really do understand how crushed your friend must be feeling. To have put all that time, effort and money into something he has a passion for. Unfortunately I wont be of much help, as I live in Perth but I do hope that someone will catch them out; bragging about what they did. Justice must be done against these culprits. I hope you do get some sort of lead. Very sad news indeed. Andy
