close but no cigar.. i was thinking more wrist strap, the kind you see on cameras to stop yourself droping it over a cliff or off a boat (this is my idea came from). I can slip it over my wrist when phoning, texting or playing scrabble.

At the end of the day things are going to get stolen. That's why we buy insurance. If you are a phone robber, you are always going to look for quick and easy targets. It is surely therefore sensible to suggest that those most likely to be robbed take the necessary precautions to minimise that. We do that with other things. Who in their right mind would leave a laptop on a car seat or park an expensive car in a poorly lit vacant street etc.


The wrist strap seems like a good and simple possible deterrant to me.

I remember once when a lady had a fit and a small crowd gathered to try and help/gawp.

A smart dressed man pulled out an impressive looking cell phone (yes it was that long ago) and loudly described the situation to his mate.

When someone pointed out that he might perhaps better spend his time and energy ringing the emergency services he had to confess that it was in fact a fake phone and he was in fact a bit of a wanker.


Anyway, maybe there's a lesson for us all there about decoys or something....perhaps filled with explosives and a receiver, but I'm sure that would be an irresponsible, if satisfying, solution.

There's a HUGE difference between saying "be careful where you use your phone", and "you were asking to be mugged". I would have to question the intelligence of anyone who doesn't understand the difference.


You can either accept that there are some nasty people out there looking to steal you phone/bike/car/wallet, and take sensible precautions, or you can carry on as before in an act of defiance. Either way, a victim of theft is still a victim... but I suspect it's more likely to happen to the latter group. Your own choice.

Have seen a suspicious blonde boy and black boy, late teens hanging at the bus tops towards the top of forest hill road between the cemetery and honor oak park station. There are usually seen just together or in a group of four or five. The white boy has a distinctive puffy red face quite bloated looking and the black guy is slim with short shaven afro hair.


We have seen them on a number of occasions always waiting and looking suspicious. I am not saying it is definitely these boys but its better to be aware than not. Also they have a habit of keeping their hoods up but not always.

Which side of the road is the bus stop you are referring to? I live opposite Francesca Cabrini School and have been keeping an eye out, but so far haven't seen anyone suspicous. I have a good view of the bus stop outside Cabrini House from my bedroom window, so might step up the surveillance if that's the stop you mean. Curtain twitchers unite!

Have just shown this to my friend, she said the White boy does have a very red face, could be the same person. (she insisted he is quite thin though)

No no no, just ring the police if you see them.

      Injured fox on Crawthew Grove

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      Just seen the limping fox in my garden in North Cross Road. Didn't stay for long but looks alert, curious, lively, in good condition, apart from limp very healthy. Of course, having the an injured limb is not ideal but I wonder if stressing him/her by trying to catch it, which will be very difficult, is the best course of action.

      Fireworks

      By kbabes · Posted

      It’s illegal to let off fireworks in a public place, there were kids in Peckham Rye Park wearing hoods & masks letting off fireworks around 5pm yesterday & generally acting menacing..  loads of people walking dogs at the time along with families & kids using the park!  I reported to the police but as usual nobody turned up! Suggest anyone who is fed up with this antisocial behaviour make sure it’s reported, the more reports the better, hopefully then something will be done.   At the moment they just know they can get away with it!

      Police appeal: Monday, 25 August – Assault between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs

      By beansprout · Posted

      As I age, I understand a lot more about community spirit and people’s fear in the current climate of going to the assistance of a person in need. Yes, this might in part be aged related but is also driven by not wishing or wanting to help but a combination of self preservation and yes, fear of what the attacker might do or even worse get stabbed or physically assaulted.  Whilst it would be great to have more police presence to reassure community and hopefully act as a deterrent to people whose aim is to rob people or home and attack people, due to the cutbacks and not sure about my next comment but lack of police officers in general and reduce number of recruits, let’s face it - we as a community should step up to protect our community and assist police. Years ago, I attended one of these evening meeting with the local police officers - turn out was less than a dozen local residents. Yes, was in the evening when a lot of families were dealing with homework, feeding, after school activities and obviously there are housebound people and older members of the community who understandably would not wish to come out. I believe that to address this, the church at the top of Barry Road near the library have over the last couple of years advertised  and organised day time meeting with two local police officers responsible for the area to address issues concerning the local community. What  happened in daylight might as mentioned above been in part caused by an individual with possible mental health problems - the point is we should all feel safe on our streets in London and without doubt if you read the news, seems like stabbing, assault is now just the norm - a reflection of modern day society in any large town in the UK. If memory serves me correctly, not related to assault but was not someone stabbed a couple of years ago near the junction with the organic shop? And I believe mentioned recently someone died in the local community from an assault. Would be good to have an update from the police or someone known to the individual attacked.  I was in East Dulwich just last week talking to a friend in Barry Road and was surprised to see two bobbies walking along the road in broad daylight so now having heard about the assault can only assume police presence has been increased.
