Good neighbourly work. Bit concerned that description information may have been shared. Would that be considered to be corroborated evidence? Couldn't it affect the reliability of evidence? Perhaps someone in the know can inform. This thread for me highlights the importance of good neighbours, the importance of accurate descriptions when posting regarding perpetrators of crime, and personal safety issues. We can't stop the crimes, we can only do all we can to protect each other from injustice.
Thanks. No problem re posting descriptions. Both me and my neighbour gave descriptions to the police right from the start, independently, without each other's knowledge. Newspapers often give descriptions of perpetrators before they are found, which can lead to their arrest.

Well, I can now announce an update to burglary in Oglander Road. He pleaded guilty in court yesterday and will be sentenced on 9 March. His name is Tesfa Amlak Jones (and yes, I'm allowed to say that as he has been convicted). The police told me my evidence helped convict him and they will tell me what he gets, so I'll let you know. However, don't all applaud at once, as the reason he was caught was due to an eagle-eyed resident of Pellatt Road who phoned the police while he was in a property there and he was caught in the act. He had also burgled several other properties in other roads that week. So for once, a result, and this particular spate of burglaries has been halted, until the next one...

Well done buddug for posting on here. Not a very pleasant experience when someone comes to your private home with bad intentions. Makes you feel vulnerable. So you have been incredibly kind and good spirited by posting on here. Be careful chasing people though, but I love your style. As for the comments, I have read the entire thread and the comment made to you after you kindly put out a warning was incredibly passive aggressive and arrogant, so again, well done you for standing up for yourself and well done to those that supported you. It was completely unnecessary to ask you in such a way why you hadn't called the police, instead of asking if you had. They are very different ways of expression. And I do not care if they started the forum or how popular they are, it was mean when you've been through such an unpleasant experience. And as for Sue...well!

Anyway, well done. Stay safe. And thank you for the warning my lovely xx

As for Sue ... Well, what?


And what is your reason for rehashing the part of the thread which led to many comments being deleted by admin?

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
