Beware this evening - there is a little scumbag on a stolen yellow OFO bike cruising East Dulwich Road trying to steal phones out of peoples hands.

I was walking past the petrol station and he cruised past me slowly looking back, then crossed the road, sped up and tried to snatch a phone out of a guys hand at the playpark traffic lights. Gave chase, but he got away down towards the Gowlett.

Black teenager, around 16/17 yo

Black hoodie pulled up

Black trackies

Black trainers


Tried calling 101 but with the carnival on.... no joy.


Be careful. Or be daring and knock him off his bike.....

That?s ridiculous, we?re on Adys and it?s absolutely fine. As is Crystal Palace Rd. Also with car parked both sides, plenty of street trees and regular traffic I?d have thought getting to pedestrins on these roads would be tough.

Sorry Fox but you've got a hangup about this, they're no worse than any other parts of ED. Take a look at the Met's regional crime maps and you'll see.


On another note, those hire bikes are a bloody nuisance and the sooner they're banned the better. Fortunately it looks as though they might be gone soon anyway: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/aug/25/mobike-no-more-dockless-bikes-could-soon-be-gone-from-uk-streets

Yes those OFO bikes seem to have become the preferred transport of dodgy youth who haven't got their paws on a moped yet-

The other day of Rye Lane I got circled by some youths on OFO bikes, they hesitated when I stopeed at a busy bus stop, nodded to each other and headed down a side street

FFS.


This is London.


I walk alone late at night all round here.


It's fine. As with anywhere at night, or indeed during the day, you have to be aware of what's going on around you.


If you don't want to do that, go and live in the middle of nowhere, or else live in London and never venture out of your house.


FFS. Again :))


ETA: In case it's not obvious, this is in answer to alarmist posts on here ....

Yesterday I saw one of these bikes propped against a wall on the corner of Wood Vale and Lordship Lane. Where are these yellow bikes picked up from? Is it the local train stations? Are they really needed in an area where transport links are so good? These bikes are manna from heaven for unscrupulous little g*ts!
The Chinese are obviously far more respectful. It's probably to do with upbringing and clearly knowing right from wrong. It does say on the OFO website "leave OFO bikes anywhere that traditional bike parking is allowed"! In this case obviously against someone's garden wall!

I didn't mean you!


I meant people saying whole areas round here were dangerous!


You can get mugged anywhere, it's bad luck but it doesn't mean everybody should always avoid that area forever.

And nothing to do with the fear engendered by living in a militarised dictatorship, I'm sure.

Oh wow - I suppose they abandon them in artful poses then :)


Back on topic - I'm going to keep my eye out - I'm a bit careless walking home late. I've had a few encounters that I've just dismissed but maybe I was lucky.

This is horrendous - when did this happen?

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
