A while back a filthy swine stole the grill from my Golf's front bumper. I replaced it last week. Then yesterday, on North Cross Rd, an equally filthy swine stole my wing mirror. Did anyone see anyone doing this? Is car bit car crime something anyone else has had any experience of round these parts? It's very frustrating.

My neighbour had the spare wheel of his Citron stolen last year from the underneath of his car - it sits on a shelf under the boot accessible from underneath the back of the car. He hadn't fitted a locking bolt so someone relieved him of the wheel. To notice there is no locking bolt though you would have to look under the car to check, so the person who stole it knew what they wanted and how to check it's 'stealability'.

We noticed that someone has tried (unsuccessfully, and thankfully without too much damage) to take the crome trim off our car a week or so ago, and our aerial disappeared just after we bought the car. A couple of years ago, ironically the night before we were due to trade it in for a new car, someone took our wing mirror covers and wheel trims.


Anything with a monetary value that's easy to remove is fair game unfortunately!

I had a lot of bits and pieces stolen from my Discovery when I moved into the area. I've also had four other cars stolen since then (one was stolen twice and another was never found). A few days ago, someone got into my brother's car and had a good rummage around.


Perhaps I've been particularly unlucky, but I dare not buy a decent motor around here now.

Had a couple of badges poorly removed from my car one night recently.

Obviously they were not pros, as they destroyed 1 trying to get it off.

They did leave me with some lovely scratches to the bodywork though...

Funnily enough i was very calm and pragmatic after 2 x full sets of hubcaps were nicked a few years ago, (just didn't bother to replace them,) but for some reason i feel particularly angry about someone damaging my car in trying unsuccessfully remove 2 little bits of plastic.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
