Hope all is OK too BUT


No point in having technology and not using it.

Insure or use social techniques (don't look like a victim)

That is very true.. The Police really do not want to get involved with this sort of thing. It is not cost effective.


Catching motorists out is much more profitable.

It is virtually impossible these days to drive anywhere without committing a motoring offence.

Speed cameras...Parking cameras... Box junction cameras.. ANPR....

and if we all stick to 19 mph they will reduce the limit to 15 mph

Dulwich Fox - What a load of tosh, of course the Police want to catch people committing these thefts. As for your comment on box junctions, these fines go to the local authority and not the police. The police have nothing to do with them. ANPR is also a useful took to detect stolen cars and vehicles without insurance etc. Spend a bit of time chatting to local officers and you will soon find out how keen they are to rid the streets of thieves stealing mobile phones.

Talking of the Police, I was surprised when some toe-rag scratched my vehicle, that the Police were even interested


But no, I had a call back that day, and the officer came round to see me super prompt 9:00 am next day. Same happened when someone stole Mrs Seabag's front number plate.


Did it fix my car?, no I did that by taking it to get it sprayed. Didn't return the number plate either


But at least they 'take these crimes' seriously, so they told me

Talking to local police today - was informed that several shops in LL and area have been repeatedly targeted by shop lifters recently - some caught on CCTV. From the sound of it there are several people (possibly in same gang) targeting shops on a daily basis. Even charity shops have had thefts of clothes/items.

And speed camera fines go straight to the H.M.Treasury consolidated fund, not the police - worth pointing out that the government give more to local councils for road safety measures such as cameras than the cameras bring in, so the idea that they're a cash cow is nonsense. Oh and if you don't break the speed limit, they can't catch you...

    • Helen and Steve did an incredible job transforming our garden (erecting a new fence, building decking, laying a new lawn and planting). Helen is very thoughtful and helped to prepare a detailed plan ahead of the work starting aligned to what we wanted and within our budget. The team worked quickly and efficiently and were incredibly polite and professional throughout. Everything was carried out to such a high standard and I couldn’t be happier with the result - we have got so much enjoyment from the garden since then. Highly recommend!
    • Silly question, but have you reported this elsewhere as well as on here? Eg passport office, banks (if there are bank cards), police? Because if someone is carrying around their passport (assuming it's theirs) they must be pretty devastated if they have lost it, and it's fairly unlikely they will see this post, though fingers crossed.
    • * Big, sick & tired sigh * Ok, so here is this year's small selection of Gala litter that has been left behind. I have to emphasise, it is only a small part of what is still there, collected on Tuesday from a relatively small area in the south of the ex-site. I also have to emphasise this only took about an hour of slow wandering, using only my eyes & hands - no specialist equipment, and I'm not a paid employee of a specialist waste management company. And to confirm, this is after "The site was checked at the end of GALA’s tenancy and found to be clear of event-related litter" by the Council / Parks Dept. There's 488 items there, many of which would be potentially hazardous to children, pets & wildlife. Not least the small bag in the bottom left corner, still containing a suspicious white substance. I'm hoping to pass this on to the police for testing, ensuring it is recorded for the purposes of next year's licence consideration.  Please - before anyone posts any comments defending this, denying it is festival related, insulting me, whatever - just go and have a close look yourself, particularly where the tents, stages & toilets were sited. It's obviously from the festival, and there's still loads of it there, all over our park. It is literally being trashed, year after year, despite repeated assurances from the organisers.  I'm sick of it, it's just so depressing.
    • Ah, ok. I only glanced at it,  and obviously didn't properly read even the tiny bit I glanced at 🤣 Sorry!
