No, its mostly rubbish, no apologies for the pun.


pretty much everything needed is bought en masse on the dark net these days.

oh no not again:( last time I caught this woman riffling through my green bin, about 2/3 months ago I told her to stop it & go away then I caught her further down the road pulling stuff out of another neighbours bin - mainly clothes. She held up some bras to show me as if it was Ok what she was doing:( her assistant was pulling a trolly for the stash. I was hoping they wouldn't return to Hindmans but it seems to be a favourite on their list:( I thought of getting locks for my bins but never got round to it & then I would probably forget to unlock them on collection day lol

I have a feeling she may not want to come back to Hindmans Road in a hurry.

Apart from the fact she was confronted by my son who caught her in the act, my alter ego (loud and angry banshee) wearing a coat over my nightdress found her rummaging through a bin on the corner of Landells.

She may have wet herself 😁

lol well that's what I thought when I confronted her & told her to leave the road & waited till she disappeared out of view with her sidekick running up the road behind her with the trolly trying to catch up lol, unfortunately it doesn't seem to have deterred them:( They don't seem to care if you tell them you will report them to the police either.

But how would she know it is your bin, when it is dumped in the road 'saving' your parking space on the public highway?

Had people looking through bins on Underhill, noticed when I'd parked up outside. Stayed for a couple of minutes to watch what they were doing, and she was just getting the dregs of the shampoo, deodorant, makeup, washing liquid etc.


Went and spoke to her, and asked her to just make sure the bin lid was fully closed after she was done. She was thankful but apologised. I said there's no need to be sorry - help yourself. A very sad state of affairs that people feel the need to have to do this, as they clearly cannot afford the basics, but if our households are so wasteful as to leave these bits in the bottoms of bottles, then why shouldn't someone make good use of it.

Sorry - my point being, not all of the folk doing this are out for criminal intent and identity theft. Often it is just people doing their best to get by by using other people's waste.

The chance of this being ID theft are virtually zero. they are picking items from the rubbish to sell at the Clothes by the Kg shops. This is not some sophisticated plan by a mysterious fagin like mastermind to steal your identity. the baseless tropes repeated on here do nothing to ally any fears. people should think before they post. see alos chalk marks on the pavement for another one that refuses to die

Some of these gangs can really talk their way round. Someone managed to take 4500 out of mine at a bank in Islington - over the counter last year a month after I had my cards stolen and after all were cancelled. Refunded of course (and I'm told now they refund whatever happens these days so no-one should worry) but how did they do it - bank didn't tell me LOL.


Edit: and even scarier some guy turned up at my flat pretending he needed my signature for a letter which should just have been posted through - sure it was linked.

The banks are really good on this now in my experience - the refunds to me were made immediately without loads of questions (and my tale seemed preposterous - but it was true).

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
