We've just had another 2 wheels stolen from our Audi A4 parked on Worlingham Road for the 2nd time in just over a month. Looks like they've come back to complete the set even though we changed all of the locking wheel nuts etc.


Is this happening anywhere else? I'd like to make sure the police are aware if it's a specialist gang focusing on the area.

Hi Iain


Sorry to hear it's happened to you twice.


About 16 months ago there was a spate of wheel thefts in the SE area. We had 2 wheels taken from our Mercedes in West Dulwich and 2 weeks before that a lady down the road had 2 taken from her Mercedes too.


If you search this forum you'll see other reports. I told the police I thought it was the same gang but nothing was done.


We've now two sets of different locking nuts on our car now.

Sorry to hear that Iain. Two wheels were also stolen from my Mercedes early last year, I'm on Crystal Palace Rd.

I reported it to the police, but with no joy. I had to change my locking nuts too, apparently this is very common according to Mercedes dealers, which wasn't nice to hear at the time.

Yeah that's our tactic too.


If the OP wants, I'm sure "a certain member of my household" will be happy to lend their services for a day. Nobody will ever want to steal your wheels again.

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
