I couldn't believe what's happened - somebody has completely burnt it!

Surely it's somebody on here?

Must have been a bit dodgy doing that right next to the petrol station though!

I do not condone crime of any kind, but you've got to laugh when you see it

Forgot to mention, that camera is usually on - well my Bell tells me it is. Unlike the majority round here that never give out a signal !! So even better work done i'd say.

I don't think anyone set fire to it, its just overworked with all us Scooby's around the area that it self-distructed itself.

I tested to see if it still worked and the answer is no!

Mind you, m18use, I don't think 100 is sensible in a 30mph limit, tsk tsk tsk...

Wouldn't it be a shame if they did the new one by the Swan, just as you go into Yate?

is there an official website for the "gatso terrorists" who burn cameras, would be a good club to join
Also do they use burning tyres or something to get the cameras alight ?

I've always thought it would be easier to spray the lens with black paint rather than burn the camera...

The one I saw looked like it had a bonfire set around the base of it!

I think someone got a bit confused as in Derby this morning I noticed a van replacing a burnt Traffic Master monitor camera!

Perhaps it burnt itself out..

A blow touch as used for plumbing etc are only about 15pound from DIY stores I suggest one of them.. not that I have tried it or that I am suggesting you do but no point you getting caught building a bonfire...
