Well done (for assisting a lady after she had her phone snatched


Recommended Posts

To the members of the public who assisted the young lady after she had her phone snatched at Goose Green yesterday evening (7pm).


The guy ran past her, taking the phone out of her hand and made off at speed up East Dulwich road towards Peckham Rye. She SCREAMED at such a level that passers-by gave chase, cars tried to block him off.


Next thing you know he was cornered. Ran back in her direction and gave back the phone. Made off down towards Grove Vale but not before a motorist mounted the pavement by the zebra crossing and nearly collared him. He made off up Tintagel Crescent. Great to see.

I was commenting on the posters on the thread as opposed to the original incident. Sounds like there was still a chase once the phone was returned. And kid or not, desire for physical revenge is not attractive (to me).

Alan - several people have posted they wish he had been run over. That is who I'm addressing


Noone has said it was a kid, that's true, but are you suggesting it makes a difference to the support or otherwise - "yeah if it's a young 'un, don't run him over, but if he is say, 25, then go for it"


Like the OP and Otta, I'm glad people stepped in to help and try and apprehend him - but subsequent posts crossed a line

Like this Strafer Jack "If I had caught him I would have done him physical harm and I wish that somebody else who did catch him would have done the same" Hows that? Yes, if he's gonna rob, mug, threaten then he deserves a slap OK?

Calling the police would have achieved precisely nothing. The guy would have been long gone.


I take the "should have ran him over" comments with a pinch of salt, but if they were meant literally then that's obviously pretty stupid.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
