Props Skate Shop Goes Up In Smoke

by The Editors on October 16, 2008

Fire1016B-1Props Snowboard and Skateboard Shop in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada went up in flames in the early hours of October 15, 2008, according to a story in the Winnipeg Sun.

I would say an early damage estimate would be in the region of $500,000,” said Det. Darryl Drewniak, of the arson strike force, who was among the first investigators on scene. “There is substantial damage to the property.”

It would appear that arson was suspected in the “mysterious fire.”

Sounds like some scumbag skate shop owner trying to pull some kind of insurance scam

Hey Dave…quit talking out of your ass…you jack-off…I’m willing to bet I know who you are too, Dave. You’re the same Dave that likes underage girls, and I have proof of it. Not smart…but nice try being anonymous.

Dave, you have no clue what you’re talking about. I know the owner very well…hmmm…you wouldn’t be the disgruntled ex-employee Dave who was turfed from Props for reasons I shouldn’t disclose here?
And a note for the editors of this site…Check your facts a bit more closely…This happened in Winnipeg, Manitoba…not Elmwood, Ontario…C’mon…you have the link to the news story…try and proof-read before simply slapping a story on your site.
