Stolen scooter... then found - Peckham Rye Common

Recommended Posts

Morning all,


I was another victim of South London crime on Saturday. My scooter was stolen from Tyrrell Road on Saturday night.


I reported to police the following day and within 2 hours they called me back saying that they had found it in the car park on Peckham Rye Common,SOuthwark community in action!


It has quite a bit of damage but glad I found it. It's Vespa LX so no way of starting it without the key, just frustrated that it'll cost hard earned cash to fix!


If you saw any kids rolling a scooter in the Tyrrell Road, Barry Road or Peckham Rye Common area then please let me know.


When I find them, which I will (great finger prints) the damage will be worth it!


Many thanks.

Get over it ( then get even)

I did have one once, it got stolen/recovered 3 times.


18 months or so later I saw the " problem child " now with own his own pride & joy scooter in the garage at Kirkdale.


Slipped the old Volvo into reverse by accident.....well guess the rest !



Have you ever seen a bike do a reverse wheelie off the stand in your rear view ?



W**F



(It did look good on the deck with him crying over his little ped.)

Nonsense. Do you think the victims of the Lockerbie bombers feel this way?


I had my little bike run over once by a short woman in a big 4x4. She claimed she could not see it as it was parked behind her car as she reversed. I told her her child was smaller than my bike and to buy a special attachment for her car available at all John Lewis stores: a CUSHION. The look on her face was priceless. Her insurance paid the damage and I wrote and told them they should not be insuring people to drive their cars who can not technically drive it safely. That gave me some satisfaction, but (safe) revenge stories are better to read!

No


Not even if the guy responsible got a million years and suffered a thousand of those, but by measure in ayresc's original story no one died, his scooter was merely stolen so the response by Block was "appropriate" I thought.

not sure how we got on to Lockerbie?!


Anyhow losing my scooter isn't the end of the world but societal pressure and the laws that govern the land should condition the way we behave. If they'd have found my kids that stole my scooter that night, you can guarantee there'd be a measily ?100 fine involved...


Then on Monday I got a ?120 fine for parking my car on a curb in Brixton, I had to laugh. Although in all seriousness if you believe in 'structuralism' this country is pretty screwed!


Anyhow I got my scooter back and fixed it for not a lot, unlike Lockerbie! :)
