Hi. I've been burgled today on Overhill Road. My kids (all about to take GCSEs) have had laptops stolen. I've had lots of Canon (and other makes of) camera equipment stolen. If anyone happens to come across these (a camera and three different lenses) in a boot sale, etc, could you please let me know? I have no insurance and can't afford to replace them.


Oh, and be extra vigilant when you have building work going on. I don't but my neighbours do and they used this opportunity (open gate...) to gain access.

Really sorry to hear about your burglary. I'm in West rather than East Dulwich but there does seem to be a huge increase in burglaries all over these areas recently. I disturbed a burglar in my house at 5.00am 3 weeks ago. His coming up the stairs woke me up. Very very frightening as I live alone but at least he ran off empty-handed. I do hope you might get some of your things back if he/they are caught.

Sorry to learn of your misfortune

keep your eyes on the pawn shops, I would go in and maybe ask them to look out

for someone trying to sell them

they can then at least get them on their ctv

I work in the markets and am offered things all the time

never buy, because do not want stolen items

I have a friend who works in a second hand camera store so will ask him to look out, they are pretty strict about the stuff they take in.


It really sucks about what happened, I hope you are able to get over it, am really angry and sad whenever I see one of these threads. Just glad you and your family are OK.

> Thank you. It's a Canon 600D with various lenses, not all Canon but all compatible.


Commiserations.


Do you have the lens and camera serial numbers? Without those or any other cogent evidence, it may not be easy to prove that any items are actually yours. I've looked at a sample 600D photograph online, and fortunately at least the camera's serial number is included in the Exif data.


What the best strategy for use of this data, apart from passing it on to the police, if it's not already on one of the online peoperty databases such as https://www.immobilise.com, I'm not sure. I don't know whether publishing it now would increase your chance of recovering the items, but you could have a look at whatever Immobilise have to say about reporting it via their site.

    • 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" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
