As some of you may know, 2 weeks ago I came down to my van completely blown up- from the inside out. After much back and forth with police reports and the fire marshall, still nothing has come of this. Apparently 2 of the cameras across the street are "broken" and they are waiting to hear back from another landlord about a third camera without much urgency. I strongly feel that this was a hate crime and is just being brushed under the rug.

My van was an integral part of my job- taking care of other peoples pets. I have dogs and cats all over Manhattan and Brooklyn that I see everyday, some of them twice per day and having to rely on the subway is making things really tough and adding hours onto my commute from client to client. I am doing my best, keeping my chin up and looking over my shoulder, but I need to get back in a van so I can get around and focus on what is important- the animals.
