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.

    • what's scandalous is our government allowing it. The should and can impose fines and order works which would lead to TW becoming bankrupt, at which point it can be taken back into the public domain.
    • The privatisation of water is just ridiculous. I have the Safer seas and rivers service app on my phone (recommend it if you like to swim outside) and the regular (weekly) sewage dumps highlighted all along the south coast is just outrageous.
    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.
