It really does, I think that would be a massive help, just to have people around me that would show up to help or even care. Well, what is done is done, but if someone sees a bag like this (http://embed.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/size/y/tid/142661027.jpg) anywhere, please please let me know. There was also a few bit and pieces of makeup in there, a book and a few other bits and bobs that I would love to get back.

Hi Applespider, I am really sorry that this happened to you too and thank you for your kind words. The thing is I did have my keys ready and I did scream but it still wasn't enough. No one helped and no one did anything, except for one neighbour who opened her window to ask what happened after it had all been over with. I feel like with so many houses around surely someone would have heard something and surely someone would have come down to help, but I guess not? And funnily enough that in itself is the scariest part because even with so many people around, I was left to fend off the attack on my own.

Hi Henry, I happened on Wednesday night. I just hope that they are caught and will answer for their crimes. I am on the mend, but I don't think that I will ever be comfortable on my doorstep again.

Be careful though because I think they know the surrounding area quite well.

Thank you all! It's so lovely to hear your kind words, it really means a lot! I am slightly battered and bruised, but mostly just shaken up since you don't expect that to happen on your doorstep. I feel sick that there are people out there who would do such things and I hope that both of them will get what's coming to them. The worst thing is I have nothing of worth so they literally got nothing out of this, but they left me with emotional damage of the attack. Horrible, horrible people.

On Thursday night I was robbed on my doorstep on Crystal Palace Road. The man followed me to the door and then started pulling me back and tugging on my bag strap to get it off me. He threw me on the ground and took off with my bag towards Landcroft Road with an accomplice. Please be aware and be on alert, apparently he has targeted lone women before. The best way I could describe him was stocky small build, thick but not long beard, beady eyes, brownish complexion and a black jacket with a knitted hat. If you see him please call the police, it would be nice to feel safe again while walking home. Also if someone sees a light brown Zara handbag/pouch thrown somewhere please let me know, I would love nothing more than to just get my lovely but worthless things back. Stay safe!
