stallholder robbed on Northcross road (December 18)

[Emily]

two thugs snatched the bag of the pie lady on Northcross road at end of day and ran off down Lacon Road. Her bag contained all her takings, her phone, purse....everything. SHe was so distraught. Felt for her so much. I hope she's OK. She couldn't even lock up her van. The sound like the utter lowlifes who mugged Mr Ben on this forum at 2am. Awful. Please check bins and gardens in Lacon road in case they dropped the bag.

The guys ran off in the direction of Peckham down Crystal Palace road or one of the neighbouring streets. If you live around there please keep an eye out for her bag- she was very upset and somethig back is better than nothing. We think that the two guys were spotted on Lordship Lane outside the old video store 5- 10 mins earlier, both were in dark hoodie/ sweatshirt type tops, and dressed all in dark. They were acting suspiciously on Lordship Lane which was why i clocked them. Be vigilant People

[EDmummy]

Absolute w*****s. I was at her stall today buying a lovely lunch for my family. Doesn't she have her money bag across her body? They must have used some force to get it off her! How terrible. I hope that they get caught, the mongrels.

[Jeremy]

That's so sad, it must have been awful. It makes me so angry.

If they have her house keys, I hope she's had her locks changed.

[DeborahC]

Just a quick update to say her bag was found so at least she has her house and van keys back

[karter]

Great news about the keys. That will be a relief. The bag was taken out of the van though and not from her body i believe.

[Sue]

Bastards.

[puwetter]

they should try and make a decent living and see how it feels they will be punshed bastards i bet the poor thing stands in the cold aswel i dont know the pie lady but it is very hard these days but anyway have a nice xmas dont let them ruin your xmas god will see to them

[Huggers]

yes the pie lady puts all the effort, not to mention financial investment and risk, into making her delicious pies, which she stands in the cold and sells all day saturday- and some little s***bags wipes out all her work, all her profit, in one moment to shoot up his stupid arm. However her pies spread good karma in our tums and freezers while we hope the little sod overdosed himself.

Hi

The Pie Lady would just like to say a big thank you to all those people who have showed such kindness and offered support at a very difficult time. To all those people who gave chase on Saturday night we nearly had them !!!!!! lets give her all our support and encouragement in the next few days

[chewstick1]

Sorry she would also like everyone to know that she had her takings bag on her and was pushed into the van and had the bag ripped from her.

[EDKiwi]

Is she back on North Cross road today? On Saturday I think she said she'd be out there on Wed, Thur, Friday, I think a pie for dinner is in order.

[Keef]

Whilst I agree that these theives are little shits, I think it's somewhat harsh to wish them death by OD.

[legalbeagle]

What a horrible experience for her, and gutting to lose all the takings. What a coward to pick on a woman on her own. I will certainly be needing a pie or two very soon I think. Maybe the best way to show our support is to buy one of her delicious pies and hopefully make up for lost takings.

(But I do agree with Keef. I don't think wishing them dead, by any method, is helpful)

[DJKillaQueen]

Yep I absolutely agree LB.....will be buying some pies today....

[giggirl]

I was in my dentist's chair the other Saturday and she came and delivered his lunch to him. What service. What a lovely lady. I shall definitely be needing a pie very soon.

[Huggers]

I didnt wish him dead. just ill. but Ive found my wishing has no influence on the outcome of reality anyway.

[sambobia]

Pie, or possibly pies, for me. Does anyone know if she is there Thurs/ Fri?

[Tobester999]

If she's there on Friday, I am popping down to try and top up her takings...

[Huggers]

she was there today, bought a pie.

[legalbeagle]

Good on you huggers. Hope she's there Friday.

[EDKiwi]

Went down today to get a couple of kiwi kia pies (and a hot sasuage roll for the walk home), she'll be there thursday and friday too.

Her mobile phone has turned up also, found in the next garden from her bag and keys, a small consolation.

[legalbeagle]

Good news! Nothing so annoying as losing your phone and all your contacts etc especially when you work for yourself. As you say small compensation, but at least it is something. I'll be pie buying tomorrow!

[Keef]

Not being funny here, but reporting this robbery has probably done her business the world of good. Perhaps she should make up some robberies in future, if business is slumping a bit.

[siousxiesue]

Ooh, I've never bought from the pie lady but now I want to! What does she have?
