Just a heads up to everyone. We had a delivery man knock on our door tonight with 3 pizzas we had not ordered. We told him they were "not ours", he then said there were some youths hanging round outside and he thought itcould be a scam. We invited him in while the guys hung around outside for a while and I called the police. He was a bit scared I think though tried not to show it. I think they would have grabbed the delivery bag and possibly assulted him. If this happens to you keep an eye out for the delivery person and make sure he gets back to his vehicle safely if pos, I felt pretty sorry for him.

Report of a similar case in Peterborough (planned theft of three pizzas after giving a false address which resulted in death of delivery driver) reported in today's Standard:

As a former pizza delivery driver the first thing I was told was you either come back with the pizza or the money, so I doubt it!


Well done to the OP for helping him.

I expect people were saying the same hundreds of years ago, when there were cutpurses and other crims out and about in the streets of London ......


Oh, and highwaymen ..... and pirates ...... no pirates in London, obv ......

Sort of reminds me of the line from 300 (Sparta)


"come back with your shield... or on it"

      Police appeal: Monday, 25 August – Assault between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs

      Rather than zero tolerance, a term I should have not used, I should have referred to crime,  No crime (excluding some things which really should not be criminalised) should be tolerated (albeit the reaction to a naughty 13 year old will be different to a violent criminal, and similarly those with mental health issues there will be some flexibility), I' was talking zero crime, which is impossible. New York was vastly improved, what happened to that wonderful Giuliani chap? US is not a role model of course, homicides per head dwarf the UK; the damage that white flight and the desolation of inner cities that happened to  many places such as Baltimore, Washington DC and Detroit is difficult to turn round Much rather move this debate to the Lounge!

      Charlotte Cave on Blackwater St, East Dulwich SE22 8SD Award-Winning colourists. They have just opened up their ED branch. The entire team can be trusted, unlike other local salons (won't mention the others that have totally destroyed my hair over the years).

      The quarterly SNT Police Meetings are advertised on EDF - the one Beansprout mentions, is  Dulwich Hill. The team have been short  staffed for a number of months as one officer was injured trying to arrest a shoplifter - unfortunately the shoplifter got away but the officer was left with fractures. We regularly see one or two of the police team around the Dulwich Hill area (they were recently in Landells Road)  Dulwich Hill SNT are hoping to resume their Cuppa with a Copper sessions but are frequently asked to support colleagues policing the various protest marches.  The next Dulwich Hill SNT meeting is scheduled for December (date to be confirmed) The attack on the young woman would come under the Goose Green SNT.
