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.

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
