Keepsakes destroyed by arsonist

7:39am Wednesday 28th March 2007 in Swindon By Joanne Moore

Treasured paintings and other keepsakes were among the goods destroyed when arsonists set fire to a garage in Wiltshire.

Thousands of pounds worth of property, including a three-piece suite, garden furniture, a lawn mower, power tools and pictures, also went up in flames.

But mum-of-one Gabrielle Kayser-Dicker, of Beverley, Toothill, Swindon, said that the most upsetting part of yesterday's fire was the boxes of memories that had been reduced to ashes, such as paintings by her 11-year-old daughter when she was a toddler.
