Sorry to hear that it's awful.. this is why I fully agree with those that say do not open the door when you aren't expecting anyone. It's a shame that we have to live like that but it's better to be safe than sorry.


I hope you're children are okay are not too upset if they witnessed this b'stard, can you give an age range??

Tibby, thanks for posting and I'll definitely be extra vigilant now the nights are dark. I hope you are OK now. A quick question, living in a street with only on-street parking. How did he know you had a car? Do you have a driveway, or did he just guess?? (just wondering if its an opportunist thing or if there is surveillance going on)

He was approximately 6ft, slim build, black,shaven head although he had a hood up, a puffa type jacket which my 6 year said was brown.. He had around his neck a scarf but a hankerchief type which was pale blue check with tassles on it.


Thank you to everyone who has sent messages. I have often read threads on here regarding crimes that have been committed but never thought I would be posting such a crime. Our two daughters who are 6 and 8 heard the whole incident and it has left the traumatised, neither will go anywhere or be anywhere in the house on their own without my husband or I with them. They wont sleep on their own, wake up crying and dont want to be at home at more.. I understand how they feel as I now will not even open the door to let our cat out.


In time I know my children and I will feel safe again, or at least I hope so but as I type this my youngest is asleep with her hand gripping my arm and my eldest twitching away in such a restless sleep that I know if I move she will wake up. What gives anyone the right to cause this much distress to people.


The car has not been seen since I watched it being driven off down towards Scutari Road/Forest Hill Road.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
