I was assaulted and robbed at 12:55am on Copleston Road, just off Grove Vale on Friday night (23/9/2011), by two non-white youths. I was lucky to escape serious injury - though I was punched multiple times to my head and ribs. I just wanted to let people know and to be safe - the attack happened only a few hundred yards from the East Dulwich Tavern which I had just left.


A very kind gentleman found my credit card and driving license by the Magnolia Pub on Lordship Lane. If anyone else has found any other items with A Taylor on them or a dark brown leather Mulberry wallet I would be grateful if you can let me know. I can't imagine my i-phone will have been thrown away! The same gentleman suggested I alert everyone on this forum.

Sorry to hear that. Do you think you were assulted because you had an iphone or was it just random? It seems iphones are the thing to steal at the moment if the reports are a true reflection. Thanks for reporting it though. It may save someone from having the same experience.
Yes, I was answering a call as I left the pub - so I'm sure that is why I was selected. That said, I'm sure they would have assaulted someone that night, even if a phone wasn't flashed. They were clearly lying in wait for a victim. I've told the Police.

There is - one guy even managed to get his laptop camera (ok that was an apple laptop) to take pics of the scum before getting the cops to pay a visit.


findmyiphone app is the start.

Could he not just have fallen off?


Sorry to hear your news AL_T.

xxxxxxx


Bit difficult to call police when the robbery happens if somebody has nicked your phone .....

Ummm really sorry to hear about this. It happened to me a few years ago outside the police station. I have to say the police were completely useless. They seem to wait in a car, follow you and then jump out just when its a bit dark (like at the back of the police station!).


We all must be aware but not paranoid!

i know it was poor liz , darlin hope your ok i was broken into at 5.30 am while in bed they came in stole my bag and lovely new car , police have been very good keep your doctors double locked or you wont be covered by the insurance i am lucky they didnt come upstairs, East Dulwich is not the safe place it used to be ladies dont walk home at night get a cab x philly:)-D

Be careful on the No.12 bus as well, I was mugged on that the other week at about 6:15pm on a Friday evening so when the bus was pretty packed. Helpfully the cctv wasn't working. As muggings go it was pretty mild to be fair - physically unscathed and he dropped my bag so just got my ipad which I stupidly had on display. Apparently it's not the first time it's happened, I think it was a kid taking an opportunity rather than hanging around in wait so less sinister. I don't think any area is particularly less safe than it was, these things happen and it's unpleasant but unfortunately they do.

    • The privatisation of water is just ridiculous. I have the Safer seas and rivers service app on my phone (recommend it if you like to swim outside) and the regular (weekly) sewage dumps highlighted all along the south coast is just outrageous.
    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
