You have had good advice here.

A friend of mine decided to open a restaurant and he is Cypriot born and bred. He found a good site with no competition within a radius of more than 1 km, in full countryside on a main road. He started to build his establishment and got the walls up. The night after the carpenter finished the woodwork for the roof, it went up in smoke. He had to call the police in, as he had the foresight to take out insurance, and they found blatant signs of arson. His insurance paid up and the work restarted. When it was almost finished, someone broke a window, one night and lobbed in a small pipe bomb with disastrous results. He restarted and the insurance company had a guardian there day and night until his restaurant opened. I'm glad to say it is now successful and well-reputed. The police never caught the arsonist/bomber, but suspicions pointed to another restaurateur about 6 or 7 km down the road. Incidentally, he also had someone complain to the health authorities that there were rats in the kitchen. There weren't.

Do you really want this kind of hassle?
