Just a heads up - a house in Underhill Road was burgled (door kicked-in) at about 5:30 on Saturday afternoon. The police were called almost immediately (within 2 minutes of the sound of the door being kicked in) but missed the robbers by about 2 minutes - apparently they had been held up during a demonstration (or something) in Peckham. The police were given a description of two of the robbers (apparently there was a third in a car, which was also described to the police). The two described were IC3 males in (at best) early 20s. Possibly younger. The house was empty (nobody in, not un-lived-in) at the time.
Two people were seen running to get into a car (small saloon/ hatchback and dark) at the time of the burglary, by a separate witness to the burglary. The description and registration details were given to the police at the time. There is supposition, but no proof, that the burglars and the people who jumped into the car were the same people. Again, the use of a police descriptor (IC3) was used as that descriptor is used to say what the observer believed the ethnicity of the individual was (what they looked like to the observer)- which is not (necessarily) the same as the ethnicity which would be claimed by the person observed. I'm not sure (considering the police have the actual registration number) why the car description would be additionally useful on these pages.

    • hah ha! On the subject of dodgy keys and also police protocol with stolen cars, my first car was a 1969 mini which you could open and start by wiggling a small flat-headed screwdriver. No wonder it was stolen. About a week later the police called to say they'd spotted it on the Dog Kennel Hill estate opposite East Dulwich station. In those days parking was free so at least I didn't receive any tickets, but I surprised the police just left a message with the address and expected me to go and pick it up. I was slightly worried I'd have to tackle the culprits myself when I arrived.
    • Great pub, great deals and great service! Food is second to none Highly recommend 👌
    • This thread is brilliant! I am glad it has a happy ending. The reference to the Punto keys reminds of the days of when you could "jiggle a lock" with a similar car key and I speak from painful memory as a kid I managed to lock the keys in our car whilst on a camping holiday in Spain. My mum and dad didn't speak much Spanish and much hilarity ensued (post event) as they tried to communicate to the driver of a similar make and model of car as to why they had flagged him down and were trying to get him to lend him the key from his ignition!
