I wonder if it might have been intended for a specific person.
Of course I have a Nephew who used to make pipe bombs and go down to the lake and set them off. One day the sheriff’s deputy happened to be driving by.
My Nephew at first tried to tell him it was just fireworks. The deuputy informed him that it wasn’t no cherry bomb.
My Nephew then did the only smart thing he did that day and told the truth. The deputy let him go but I think he was close to going to jail.

I didn’t want to post this in my original message before I had time to make sure of the details but four Churches have been the victims of arson attacks in the Geelong area in recent months. So has one Mosque (but as that was a former Christian Church that had been converted but still looked like a Church, police suspect the arsonist may have thought it was a fifth Church).
I hope to God that this has nothing to do with terrorism, but it’s certainly something that comes into my mind.
I grew up in Geelong - went to school quite near where this happened - it’s a beautiful city, but vulnerable like any other.
