Sorry to report folks


Between 3.30pm and 4:30pm today 7th August nasty people have smashed through our front sash window .Large TV, SLR Camera Laptop, and some jewellery taken.Even my reading glasses!

I was home just before then went out to register birth of second daughter in Camberwell at 3.45pm and home by 4.30pm

Which is why I can be sure on the time.

Did not notice anyone watching the house.

We had window locks on the sash windows, they forced the window up and then busted it forward taking the frame out on the inside, glass did not break, they could then swing the window in and take what they wanted


To have the audacity to do it in broad daylight, we had builders working opposite making a noise so can only assume they parked a van in front to hide what they were doing , the noise of smashing in the wood window was masked by the builders, I did check with them and they did not see anything


Police came and did what they could, said another house had been done the same way up on Lordship lane, again busy road daylight no shame ....


keep em peeled folks nasty people at work

Really sorry this happened to you. There is a spate of similar burglaries in this area at the moment. A house in Upland Road was broken into in exactly the same way in the same circumstances (levered out a locked sash window mid-afternoon) and that one even had an alarm which did not seem to be a deterrent. Another house in Upland Road had patio doors smashed in and one in Friern had the front door smashed in. It is worth being observant re people in front gardens, even if they look like they are doing work there.

This is terrible.


Bad enough anyway, but how brazen, to do it in broad daylight when the homeowner or their neighbours could come back at any minute, or passers by could think something must be wrong.


I always thought that window locks would be a deterrent at least, but evidently not :(

Shame on whom doing this, sorry hear this thankyou for raising awareness.

This happened couple years ago on glengarry road knocked doors rang bells the one house whom did not answer they crowbar red doors took everything. Broad daylight.

No.one saw or knew anything was actually police door knocking to warn others double lock communal door if conversion flats as easy target if isn't.

Carbt imagine how you must be feeling right now.

      Clean Air Dulwich - who are they?

      By Rockets · Posted

      But by the same measure you can see why some might think the anonymous online lobby group Clean Air Dulwich are a group of rich local residents happy to lobby the council to get their roads closed to traffic at the expense of other Dulwich residents. You sense an agenda on this thread - did your Spidey-senses get tweaked on the thread questioning who is behind One Dulwich and you just didn't bother mentioning it? 😉 What's good for the goose etc...   And your statement that you can't get cleaner air without some restrictions on drivers is blinkered nonsense and just shows how some seem to think private car drivers are the sole root-cause of all air pollution - reducing car emissions helps but is not the silver bullet. And if the measures you put in just displace traffic rather than remove it then what's the point - and that's what Clean Air for all Dulwich are trying to make.

      I used to go to the Aldi in the Old Kent Road and then pop along to the Lidl further down the road. The Aldi was closed down pre Covid supposedly due to a new development being built which was supposed to include a new Aldi.  I have been to the Aldi in Anerley and it was fine.

      Knight & Sons. Waste removal. Recommendation.

      By Drake98 · Posted

      Very happy to recommend Paul of Knight & Sons! I had a fitted kitchen installed recently, and he removed all the pieces of the old one. Not an especially easy job, as all the MDF had been sitting in my back garden and was getting waterlogged and crumbly. Plus the narrow access through my house added an extra burden! On top of all that his van had broken down, but he still came through with a vehicle and his mate Steve. Between them they completed the job in less than one hour, and even swept up the MDF debris off the street when they'd finished. I would add that he replied instantly to my initial call, gave me a fair quote based on a couple of photos, and fixed a collection date within two days. No nonsense. Try getting a response like that from your local Council waste management team!

      Which Dulwich - East/West/Village?

      Big up for the SE23 Massive!  Good discussion on their local forum (which has become a bit more interesting after being in the doldrums for a decade): https://www.se23.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=14870 The Times article is a bit (trying to think of an inoffensive word) but they and the Standard have to fill their property pages with something
