Hi there East Dulwichonians,


Has anyone had any problems with tyre slashing in ED? A few of us on Crystal Palace Road (Lordship Lane end) have had our tyres stabbed over the past week. Anyone in the area might want to be vigilant against such activity.


Kind regards,


Karim

Huh... I used to live on CPR. One of my first experiences was getting grief from my neighbour for parking in "her" space! Unbelievable!

If it IS people trying to ensure cars don't park where THEY want to park THEIR cars, the conclusion could be that the perpetrators are very near. Shocking behaviour, because it implies that someone would rather damage your property than walk a few yards to their car.

If it's the SAME area being victimised, perhaps someone could put up a cam looking down at the area and encourage everyone to park there in the hope of capturing the baddie on film. It may mean sacrificing more tyres though..

Regular tyre damage might raise suspicions against those who benefit from new tyre sales or repairs in the area?


Does anyone know if there is a pattern to the make and model of car or the type, make or size of tyres or the geographical locations of such incidents?

Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure it isn't about parking spaces...there is only one person around this area who "protects" his space by putting his bins out but nobody challenges it as there are usually other places to park, so I don't understand it at all. But/and it is annoying and expensive!

Eh? I wasnt being sarcastic.


I never knew that bit of the forum was there until quite recently when someone mentioned it. Probably hardly anybody else does either.


My post was written trying to be helpful


Why did you think it was sarcasm?


ETA: You asked for a number. I gave you one in good faith. Maybe a thank you would have been more in order than a nasty remark??


ETA: And maybe an apology?


ETA: For anyone else who doesn't know, you go to the Home page of this forum and on the top right hand side, next to the Forum tab, there's a greyed-out tab saying Local Info, which if you click on it brings up - Local Info

    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
