i woke around 7.30 this morning opened my back door to let the animals out and went off to deal with my kids, morning routine breakfast and milk for baby then mine and my sons turn. i went off and ate my breakfast then fell asleep with my baby on sofa.


i awoke to my husband yelling at me, wheres my bag and whys the champagne been taken off the shelf. i had no idea what he was talking about so went to investigate.


we had been burgled :(


someone walked into my home stole a handful of stuff ie, camera, ?300 sunglasses, x3 watches, bottle of expensive whiskey, a bag to put it all in, PSP.

i was sat in my front room and no more than 2 seconds away from me someone was robbing me.


i called the police, crime investigators came out but no prints. police came at 3pm and apparently 2 doors away from me had been burgled too.


this has terrified me, i certainly dont want sympathy just wanted to let people know that this happened on ivanhoe road and i dont want it happening to others, 2 houses is enough.

We had a burglary in Ivanhoe Road over this past weekend, as well, as did someone else just down the road from us. It was between 3 and 6 in the morning, so we were in, and they took a couple of laptops and some quite expensive family jewellery, as well as a rucksack to put it all in, but they never went upstairs.


Be aware! There might be more to come if they're getting a couple of houses a week.

Do take a look at crimestoppers website for crime prevention advice. This is a horrible thing to say but sometimes they come back now they know the layout of a property. also neighbours are more lilely to be burgled for similar reasons.

Really up your crime prevention, locks and tell your neighbours so they can act preventatively.


You South Camberwell Safter Neighbourhood Team should also be willing to visit to give crime prevention advice.


One something like this happened to me I made a big list of all the advice and went through it quite systematically as, touch wood, we've not been burgled or attempted since.

which end of ivanhoe are you on?

    • Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ? 
    • Sadly, a lot of businesses didn't invite reviews on the EDF at that time due to a number of "negative nellies" that would take delight in posting unfavourable comments, often despite never being to the business in question.  No matter how good the place was, some posters would find fault that wasn't there "don't lile the colour of the bidet set in the private bathroom, avocado 😅" Can hardly blame businesses at the time for not wanting reviews on here, thankfully that has mostly changed now.   
    • Was that the Hare Krishna place? I can't remember exactly where it was (or maybe still is) but it was somewhere around Oxford Street.
    • The "for sale" section on this forum lets people offer things for free or cheaply. And the "wanted" section let's people ask for things they want or need, for free or cheaply. There are also existing schemes like Freecycle, and also local  food banks. And there is (or was) a local scheme where you can bring things to be repaired free. I think it is/was based in Nunhead. Isn't that simpler than having a barter system? You might have something to give away, but the person who wants it might not have anything you want. Or have I misunderstood how it works? I can see that offering services free might not fit into existing schemes, but depending on what they were, what would happen if things went horribly wrong eg someone wrecked your house? Sorry if the above sounds very negative.
