Thank you - I agree it turns on mens rea. Burning one's own property can be criminal arson, depending on intent or result.

- biot 10y agoJust as you'd expect. Whether the property in question are books you own, or a shed, or your entire house it's your property and it's not a crime to turn your property into a bonfire so long as doing so doesn't break other criminal laws.
