Hi guys,


My housemate?s scooter was stolen last night (Orange, R Reg, 60ish cc so quite distinctive sounding, very well loved) from the corner of Forest Hill Road / Mundania Road, SE22 ? if you?ve seen it (or anything suspicious that might be related) please get in touch via this thread. Oh, and as an opportunistic thief seem to be about, please be careful with locking your own stuff up...


Cheers

Alex

MY son's scooter was stolen a few months back from corner of Scutari & Marmora. Police recovered it by accident 6 hours later when pinching a white transit van for minor traffic offence - in the back it had two stolen scooters. They had lifted the locked bike from the front of the house - and only later broken the locks.


The culprits were charged with theft - never heard the outcome, but if they were not too clever maybe it's the same gang at it again? Police should be aware of the previous theft(s) I referred to.

Several years ago I caught the same teenager three times over a period of about 3 months on stolen motorbikes or scooters.

Reported him each time. I hope you can ask the police to keep you informed. Get the name and number of one policeman in particular then hang on to him for information!

Nice example of why you should always chain it to something if possible, not just through the wheel. Even a big bike can be lifted by 3 or 4 people with scaffold poles through the wheels into the back of a van, ideally soundproofed in case of alarms.

    • I think the only way to sort this is to ban loud fireworks for private sale (and preferably ban fireworks altogether except for public displays). I don't know whether that has implications I'm not aware of eg I have no idea how many people are involved in firework manufacture.
    • Very happy to recommend Tommy Rooney's excellent work again. He's been servicing my boiler for years now, but this time he swiftly fixed a leaky radiator valve. I put out a call on Friday and it was repaired - and improved - by Monday evening. I asked him if he had an opinion about my other radiators, and he reassured me as he pointed out the leaky bathroom rad was a non-standard length, which was why it caused problems. There followed a brief but detailed history of improvements in regulations for valves and fittings over the years, so that I could understand precisely what the issue was. How many plumbers will do that for you? "I've just got a memory for weird things," says Tommy modestly.
    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.
