Hi ken cat... my partner had his Triumph nearly stolen at 6am this morning. A neighbour disturbed the two guys and they sped off on their motorbike. We're on the Dutch Estate and they found it to the side of our houses in a locked car park. I know nothing about bikes but from what I gather they have done the same to his bike - taken out the ignition. The neighbour saw two guys on one motorbike with no helmets on, only black balaclavas. My partner is from now on chaining it to a post for further security.

Not that it's much help, but I saw 3 youths without helmets pushing a scooter motorbike through Dulwich Village at about 6.20pm on Monday eve - looked odd. They also seemed to have just been hassled by 2 seperate males who ran off and got into a car.


Might all be soemthing and nothing, but just in case it is connected in anyway

If you email me your details I can ask the East Dulwich Police Safer Neighbourhood Team who we've funded to have motorbike wheel locks amongst many other cirme prevention goodies to visit to give crime prevention advice and leave said cirme prevention goodies.
Just spoke to police from victim focus desk and she told me if you see any body attempting theft and they leg it you can ring 999 at that point but if its after the fact then call 0300 123 1212 .... the safer neighbourhood team came round a few months ago after we were burgled and when they found out i had a motorcycle they gave me two disc locks free!! and that along with an oxford chain probably saved my bike so its well worth getting in touch with them .

cool thanks, just wanted to see how close there were to each other.


It goes with out saying that 1 or 2 d-locks are a must in London plus a cover, out of sight out of mind etc...


I'm about to get a CBR600 and mega anxiuos about it getting nicked. Ask your neighbours to stay vigilant, ours are always on the look out for bad'uns as our road is well populated with bikes/scooters.


It may be worth buying a dummy CCTV camera that looks down the road on a neutral bit of property, only ?15-20.


Safe riding.

In case anyone is thinkng of getting a new chain and ground anchor, I recommend these http://www.almax-security-chains.co.uk/index.asp?pg=1


They are seriously thick and heavy so only really of use for security at your home location but they are the toughest around. They look like something used to moor the Titanic. Most popular chains can be bolt cropped but for these they'll need an angle grinder which tends to make a lot more noise.


I'm not connected with this company by the way, I just rate their product.



EDIT: Oops... posted under the wife's account, I'm Alfie Noakes. Not that I post much.

For those of you within the Nunhead and Peckham Rye Ward which DOES include quite a bit of East Dulwich around Forest Hill Road, a way up Barry Road, The Gardens and so on, do come tonight to the Police Ward Panel so you can discuss this subject with the police.

On the What's On Section there are all the details, but basically it is at 7pm tonight Thurs 17th Feb 2011 at the Rye Hill Tenants and Residents Association Hall. This is on the Peckham Rye SE15 side of the park in front of the three Rye Hill Park Tower Blocks, and around the corner from the Harris Girls Sports Academy.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
