BeatriceH Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 A pot full of auriculas was stolen from my steps this morning. The plants were given to me my father who also fought in the war, so it's particularly upsetting. I'm posting in the hope of producing their return: I'd just like the pot put back where it was.

first mate Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 How bizarre. Seems like whoever stole the pot may read this forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatriceH Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 I also put a notice up for a few hours, but the statistical likelihood is the Forum.I'll try filling it with cress, so Colonel Mustard can also be considered if it goes AWOL again.

KidKruger Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 conscience is when you don't steal because you don't want to because it's not OK.returning something after having stolen it is very slightly above no conscience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peckham Park Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Hi, our neighbours on Kelmore Grove had all their window boxes stolen this evening at 6.40pm. I have a Nest camera and managed to capture a few images of the white van who did it. I shared them with my neighbour for any police report. Notice the time stamp - didn?t capture them in the act or their registration plate- but keep an eye out for this van! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules-and-Boo Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I had a woman, mid afternoon in my front garden trying to steal my large teak garden table.I asked her what she was doing, "taking the table". She looked amused when I asked her to get out and bugger off and didn't seem at all bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepy-li Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Saw something similar on twitter last night in se23 - showed two guys in a similar white van. You can find it on the @JaneCanDoSE4 thread - says the thieves were shown on CCTV stealing expensive plants from front gardens, details were sent to Lewisham police.Amended to say I've just re-tweeted it to make it easier to find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peckham Park Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Definitely is the same van! One van crime wave!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
