Having noticed security guards patrolling the car park in Sainsburys recently, I asked one what was behind this new measure. It turns out that women have been robbed of their handbags and attacked in the car park (badly punched and kicked in some cases). The victims are always women on their own. The latest attack was about 4 days ago. Just thought I would mention this to other females. When we are loading up our cars, we are not always aware of who is close by so it might be sensible just to be on red alert. If, like me, you tend to take money out of the cashpoint, then be extra careful. I can understand why Sainsburys have not put up any warning signs in store but I feel people should be aware.

Not being able to walk around with a handbag in case it is snatched almost bothers me more than not being able to walk around in a short skirt in case I get raped.


Hmm... what's the equivalent of the Slutwalk for handbag lovers? The Clutch Crawl? The Satchel Stomp?

They are also targeting cars, and men have been the target in the past, though possibly these are different gangs.

Yes they go for people loading shopping into the car. If you put a handbag/Shoulder bag etc down for a moment, it's at risk. Putting it on passenger seat is also a bad idea while the doors are unlocked or windows down.

Am pleased to hear about the extra security, but pretty horrified to hear about the attacks. Does anyone know if there is any pattern, such as time of day or area of the car park?


I usually use a cross-body bag these days - guess they could try and get it off my if they tried, but at least I don't have to put it down whilst loading up the car. I have both hands free.

East Dulwich has become a haven for Street Robbery and Muggings.


Robbers are spoilt for choice with Rich Pickings and easy targets.


I myself have seen women late evening in the local Pubs and Bars with

'Concetinas' of Credit and Store Cards.


Leave your cards at home. Just take enough money with you to pay for your Evening's Drinks.

then if you get robbed it will be not so painful.


Losing your cards is a real pain, having to report them missing late at night.

and then having to inform all the organizations that your card details have been changed.


Despite some Bars policy, NEVER leave your card behind the Bar. Your card company will

not reinburse you if your card is cloned. You are not insured.

"Your card company will not reinburse you if your card is cloned. You are not insured."


Actually they will as happened to me. to be fair they probably should have put a stop to my withdrawing my cash limit everyday from an ATM in Benin whilst also phoning them up complaining that I can't get money out of ATMs in London. Alarm bells should have rung on day 1, not day 4!!

If you live here you just have to be street wise, i try and take a nectar card and visa card to sainsburys- if fact when i go out i try and stick stuff in my front pocket instead- its really bad for your back/ shoulder to carry all that stuff and a bag everywhere.But hten maybe the ospeopath is robbing me;-)

WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE


YOU - yes YOU - you're going to die.


It might not be today. It might not be tomorrow. It might not be for another 50 years. But in this hotbed of East Dulwich iniquity, you ARE going to die.


Incidentally, has Sainsbury's had anything to say about these car park attacks?

I hope there were no euphemisms involved in this post. If there is might I suggest you find a new osteopath.

Not all of ED is in Zone 2. East of the Goose Green roundabout is in Zone 3 and if I recall ED is categorised as suburban with regards to planning?

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
