Sad to concur with the above posts, I was accosted last night on the corner of Goodrich and Dunstans at about 12.30 by two youths, one asked for the time, the other went to grab my wrist and watch as I looked to tell them. They clearly didn?t see my dog was about twenty yards behind me doing her usual nightly sniff. After a scuffle she bit one of them and I have the glove which I am taking to the police for DNA.
well done bunny-thats fab glad to hear one of the gits has at least been bitten! could you let us know what the police have to say please? would be good to know if they are taking this seriously/what they are planning on doing about it. Very worried as my hubby comes home form work at around that time of night every day. Not nice having to worry every night until I hear his key in the lock.

Just to add my two pence, these crimes are all likely to point to wards a small but dedicated buch of kids, and the only way to stop this is report the crimes and help the police look into this.

We know not all crimes will be solved, but themes and trends get investigated and they can target the area.

Please please report all the problems and crimes you encounter.

It literally takes 5 mins on-line.

When numerous people give descriptions of the thugs more varied info is gathered together giving a clearer overall picture of these no good toads and their evil habits.


This forum must make a sygnificant difference to the local constabulary as we are all looking out for the dangerous thieving wretches.

Which park?

Missmay, I feel for you but you just generally have to accept things happen occasionally but that Dulwich is better than many other places in London--a guy got shot dead outside our flat on Barry Road a year ago and we got very scared for a while but soon recovered our poise.

It sounds like a lot of these recent incidents happened late at night. So a message to all girls especiall, avoid walking on your own late at night. Keep your wits and you'll be fine, honest.

Missmay here's my tuppence worth. Crime comes in peaks and troughs but also we have a popular forum so we hear about more incidents than your average neighbourhood. Check out the met police crime statistic map - we're comparatively quite good round here. Every area has it's scummers but ED is still (in my opinion) a lovely place to live. I'm guilty of being lazy and walking the quickest route home but we should all keep our wits about us and if someone does try and mug you, just hand it over, it's just not worth it.

Another petty observation pk....it may be an old-fashioned attitude but i personally don't want my wife walking any of the streets of London past midnight. But that's just my safety mechanism, you may proffer something different.

Have to add to everyone elses point in that reporting any theft is definately worth it. I was mugged twice in short sucession but both phones I lost had been tagged and I had all the details which I gave to the police. They later recovered the second phone from a kid on a local estate - so they do find things!!! Also would recommend getting in touch from a support point of view - at the time I thought I was fine but 3 years on I still suffer from flashabcks and avoid going anywhere after dark on my own. Sometime even you don't realise it these things can really affect your life. I know Southwark has an active victim support service which may be worth conisdering even if your not bothered about it now - and yes I do realise that everybody has the right to deal with things in their own way - just an option.

eh?


i only asked a question as i thought that the facts here had prompted your 'message to all the girls especiall' (i don't know the victims or their gender so i wondered whether there were indeed more women than men)

I've mentioned this before but please contact Victim Support too. My OH was attacked at Denmark Hill before Christmas and they've been totally brilliant


- helping us with the Police process (accompanying us to station meetings at their suggestion)

- providing us with personal alarms (although mine keeps going off in my bag at v. embarrassiing moments)

- giving v good (non-patronising) guidance and support - from a trained psychotherapist no less.


My OH is not one to ask for help - but he's found them wonderful.


Sorry to hear all your awful stories. We live around the corner too - shudder.

    • Not really since the first world war, and mainly in the sense then of 'getting a Blighty one' meaning a wound so serious you had to be sent home. I seriously doubt if one school child in 100 now would know what Blighty meant if the word was presented on its own with no context.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.
