I've just seen 2 men park an old black Mercedes Benz 500 on Cyrena road between Pellatt road and Rodwell road. (2.30am 20.08) After a few minutes sat there they split up in different directions, giving all the suspicious warnings, and disappeared for 5 minutes or so. When they returned to the car they tried 2 car doors that I saw on Cyrena road. Possibly looking for unlocked cars or obvious valuables. Sadly couldn't see the number plate but thought worth sharing incase anyone else has seen anything.

Description of the men:

1. White middle aged male, very obese and short hair wearing a red zip up hoodie.

2. White mid aged male, skinny wearing a dark hoodie and black cap.

Weirdly the other Sunday morning I got in my car to find the contents of the glove box all over the passenger seat including the car?s removable sat nav/ media player. Guessed someone must have just tried the door and not found anything of particular value but did find it odd they didn?t take the sat nav


This was on Honor Oak Road

Couple of times someone has taken parking change and a satnav from our car when we've left it unlocked.


They probably have a night-time round, trying car doors in an area every few weeks/months, then moving on.Very low risk crime, since even in the unlikely event they got caught the police would probably do nothing.


But then again unless you happen to leave something valuable in the car it's not a high-impact crime, just annoying. They don't appear to be interested in nicking the actual car.

Same thing happened to me, but they left every thing including a credit card, PDA, camera, drills and a full toolkit. No sign of forced entry so I must have left it unlocked.

Let off lightly.

Sorry to be really dim, but why would you leave your car unlocked?

    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.
