I know it will seem trivial to you but every theft report to the Police affects how many officers we have locally, where they look to prevent and solve crime, can be part of a bigger picture that they can;t see without all the detail.


These crooks went up to your front door looking to steal. They probably checked if the front door was locked or not....

I REALLY think you both should report your respective crimes.

we also had out plant pot stolen after a saturday night a couple of weeks back - so annoying. When you try to play a role in making the place look nicer and some mug comes along and has it off !


We have replaced it and are waiting for this one to go also.


losing faith...

I have lots of plants in the front of my house and they are often cut and or vandalised by passers by (drunks, kids etc). I have personally considered setting up a 24/hr webcam from upstairs so I can monitor the front garden area to catch any would be culprits. Not sure if this would work or perhaps just deter any would be criminal activity of any kind?


Louisa.

I had a window box stolen last year, I was very cross but did chuckle a bit that it must have been a middle class thief! It was so annoying as it was part of a set of 3, 2 larger and 1 small. The remaining large and small look very stupid (at least if they had stolen the small, the two large would still look nice). They have now been resigned to the back garden!

Potted plants at the front of properties (that can be easily lifted) often seem to get stolen at this time of year.....if you go to any boot fair a short distance out of town there are always blokes selling the sort of plant related stuff that looks suspiciously like it's come straight out of a garden (or several gardens). I suppose you either have to resign yourself to the risk if you want to put pots at the front of your house or move anything that you really value or would be seriously annoyed to lose to a more secure location for the summer months... or chain the pots down....

Always report it though. Theft is theft.

I had three window boxes stolen in broad daylight. It was just before Mother's Day a year or so back, and the police said the thieves had been round the whole area in a van.


The replacements are now chained to the sills.

A couple of years ago my neighbours had their potted plants stolen on Upland Road. However, the not so cunning thieves left a trail of earth leading to their front door! My neignbours reported it to the police, but despite the evidence guess what.... they did nothing. Unless you chain the pots down, I wouldn't suggest having them.

We have had a spate of it of late in Dulwich and the Police were involved and even spoke with a number of residents locally. They apparently caught two guys and they were released, but advised all to put very heavy rocks/stones in the pots to start with, thus making it heavier and more time consuming to remove them.

for the second time in 2 months we had another of our pots stolen from the front of our house - so frustrating - the cost is one thing, but the efforts to make the road look a little brighter seem to be wasted.


We have to give up, I am not going to be mugged off any further by low life who consider us to be some kind of manufacturer of their producs for sale, replenishing their stocks over and over.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • 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.
