attempted break-in Therapia Rd (17 May)


Recommended Posts

All, please be on your guard and be extra- vigilant. Our house was broken into during the night. They managed to break through the security locks on one of the sashes at the front of the house and prise the window open.


The dog woke me up aroynd 2am barking wildkt. I went downstairs to unvestigate but nothing amiss and alarm still set. A short while later the house alarm went off and I got up again and did a full inspection. I even went outside but didnt see anything. Funnily enough the dog was sniffing at the front window but I assumed it was just a cat.


Anyway, on my way back in fron morning walk I saw the sash window completely open. When I went inside it had been busted completely.... Very creepy..


They must have busted the window and heard the noise of me and dog getting up and then when rhe coast was clear, try to finish off. Lucky for me to have motiob sensors in all rooms - and a big dog and an even bigger cricket bat.


Very daring indeed to come in through a front window in a street with traffic.


Please check your security and if you were thinking of getting an alarm but couldn't decide which one, get out there and buy it. I dread to think what would have happened if the alarm hadnt gone off. I dont trust myself around intruders in my home and ironically would probably end up in court myself....


I have called the police and they are due this morning. Anyone recommend a good sash replacement specialist who does emergency jobs? I aint leaving until this place is like Strangeways...

We also live on Therapia, I have a security camera, but only check the recordings if I hear of anything untoward, or notice anything unusual on or around our house the next day. Thanks for the info, will probably check the camera more often, however nothing out of the ordinary appeared on it last night only the milkman at 02:48.

We've previously talked a bit about window locks and breaking windows open at http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,537002

    • We were hoping to have a meal at Monkatsu  last night (Sunday), after having been out all day. Online information gave the closing time as 10pm. We got there around 8.30pm and they wouldn't give us a table because "the kitchen closes in half an hour." Surely it doesn't take half an hour to make a meal? We've never had to wait that long when we've eaten there before. Has anybody else had this happen? We ended up going home and getting a delivery, which wasn't how we had envisaged the end of a nice day 🙄
    • That place did only have pizzas on the menu, to the best of my recollection. We ate there once, the pizzas were ok but the room was not exactly atmospheric. Il Mirto has  a lot of pasta dishes on the menu,  but that also never seems busy. It's small and out of the way,  and easily forgotten if you're looking for somewhere to eat, I suppose.
    • London's Fallen. The Mayor, was, is and will remain a disaster for London "Sadiq Khan’s legacy: 772 six figure earners in TfL alone, 18 TfL employees on over £250,000 Sadiq paid himself £171,587 in 2022-23, up £21,000 from four years ago, What do you get? 4.99% council tax increase, ULEZ tax, Mayoral tax doubled to £471, Knife crime up, Acid attack capital of the world, Shoplifting up 48% Muggings and picketing up x3 He’s filling his mates and his own pockets, laughing at you in his bullet proof Range Rover Sentinel paid for by the taxpayer." "More than 1000 of his City Hall staff are on a salary of £100,000 or more per year" So were is the value of money in that , and you know what, we all pay for it from our council tax. More administration and more of a burden on the people. He is out of touch with reality.  And as for Susan Hall, her campaign was only about Ulez, it was the only thing she ever brought up, when London has so many other problems that she didn't ever mention once. Her hope was that the voters in the outer London Boroughs would get her over the line, she failed miserably.   And why does the new mayor think Londoners should provide school meals for children, not his, or our responsibility, or does he now control the running of schools as well.  And as for air quality, its been proven Ulez has made practically NO difference. Where is all the money he's generated, certainly not back into London, otherwise he wouldn't have raised his part of the council tax for 2024/25 by 8.3%. WE pay more and get less each and every year.  Well if that's the case, the scrutiny of borough councils needs to increase 1000+ fold and be held to account for the actions they take and the decisions they make.  His "winners" speech was no more than hot air, saying how he represents all Londoners, I'll tell you what, lets switch Mayors and have Andy Burnham, Manchester can have Khan, At least Burnham is a proper politician with proper values who actually cares about people.
