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.

    • That's actually why the Sherlock Holmes stories were so popular. There was so little crime people found it exciting to imagine robberies and murders happening in London.
    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant.
