Yeah, you called it, pritchke. It's pretty close to mob stuff.

You'd think if they put out the fire, he would be grateful enough to pay his dues. As it is, now he will be resentful, if he ever pays them. I have to wonder if that non-payment-so-no-fire-protection stuff will affect his insurance too, because fire protection is a standard requirement for property insurance (if it isn't there, it counts as a change in the risk, which if unreported is grounds for the insurance company not to pay up). Therefore, he may not have money to pay those dues because he'll be trying to replace property that the insurance company won't pay for.

You know, I really have to wonder if something else was going on there. The name of the owner sounds foreign - Bibaldo Rueda. Maybe they don't want "his kind" around in rural Missouri.
