I was just at the East Dulwich council meeting this evening where crime statistics were discussed. Overall crime is down in the area but (surprise!) burglary is indeed up in the ED ward this year. I asked if there were anything specific about the burglaries that could help prevention and was told that patterns suggest it is driven by gangs pursuing specific kinds of targets over short periods. So let's all be good neighbours and keep an eye out for each other. P.S. There is a petition out there to ask Boris to get numbers of police in Southwark back up to 2010 levels so if you're concerned you might want to sign it. Interested parties can find out more once they've posted the minutes here: http://www.southwark.gov.uk/dulwich P.P.S. While I'm sure any advice on home security is welcome, it should go without saying that accusing someone who's just been burglarised of lacking common sense (i.e. being stupid) is insensitive at best (unless they literally left the front door wide open).

OK so that's two votes for their coffee, is there anything else in there worth having?

Regarding comments about KFH in East Dulwich, we bought a house here last year and the KFH agent was so bad with us, lying to us and putting words in the sellers' mouths, that the sellers apologised to us and told the agent to stop any further communication with us without their approval. I certainly won't go near KFH when I get round to selling.

I don't mean to be nosy, but may I ask roughly where these multiple break-ins are happening?
