Once whilst in Dulwich Village I saw a wallet with cash notes of tens and twenties spilling out of it on the pavement. I walked over to pick it up but not before an eldery lady came out of the post office, looked around to make sure nooone was looking and swiped the money!! I picked up the wallet and took it to Lordship Lane police staion where they managed to track down the owner who was thankful someone had found his wallet and handed it in as it still contained bank cards etc... I didn't expect anything from him for handing it in as it's what any decent person should do not nick the money like the old lady tut tut!

Did you not feel moved to intervene with the old lady in question? Or might she have been carrying a knife? :-)

I was on across the road from her so by the time I walked over to pick up the wallet she had legged it...well walked off as she was probably in her early seventies! I was in shock aswell at her nerve, going back now I should have probably shouted after her!

Blimey! You must have good eyesight if you could distinguish the notes from the other side of the road! I would have been lucky to have seen the wallet from that distance! Are you sure the old lady didn't make off with a few fifties as well?

I was sitting outside the old restaurant that is now called Rocca with a friend having a coffee and saw a couple of the notes blowing in the wind and then noticed the wallet. I saw the old lady and thought maybe it was hers but no she was only interested in money!

    • Thanks Penguin. It could be a coincidence. But after years of road safety being on the local agenda they finally put the crossings in months before Dulwich Estates regain the lease on The Grove.   The Estate understands there is strong local interest in improving this area and we hope to be in a position to share some exciting updates in the near future. The temporary skatepark will remain unaffected. “Temporary skatepark” is telling.    
    • Back to my earlier post about familiarity.  I was in Croydon this afternoon walking between the two main stations.  Didn't feel unsafe, but there were some 'interesting' characters on the street.  Not that any were bothered with me. Not a place I'd choose to go for a bit of a fun.  Although having said that West Croydon has some cracking restaurants and the wonderfully named Saints and Sinners bar, where I once went on a corporate do - not that I did many of these. Whoops just checked and it closed a few months ago. Back on track, I never went to the Castle as I felt it was a bit rough.  How wrong was I?  Only real pub left in the area.
    • Wow Sue! I was reading your post with interest as I’ve never really felt unsafe in London and I was born here. It was just your last paragraph that derailed me and totally changed the subject matter! So unnecessary.
