Just to say I was watching TV on the sofa with the lights out the other afternoon around 3pm ish and a man appeared at the window at the side of my house - no-one needs to be there as it's my side aspect and not my main front door. Not thinking I was there he ducked off and before I could get off the sofa to see what he wanted he was gone. Not sure if it was anything to be worried about - it freaked me out a bit. I'm probably quite complacent as I have 2 dogs, but clearly people are out 'scouting'.

Hi tallulah71,

Did you ring 999 or 101 to report this?


I had the same happen to me. I mentioned it in passing to local Police who were really miffed I hadn't dialled 999 (101 is the non emergecny version).


Even now, please do consider dialling 101 and get a CAD number. The more CAD numbers an area gets the more Police resources they get.

I used to live in Overhill Road, the same thing happened to me but he did not see me whilst looking in, i left it a couple of minutes then opened the front door and the cheeky git had his tools laid out on the doorstep getting ready to break in !!! Always call the police...crime statistics do help in getting more police in the area !

Hi Tallulah 71,

I think you need to be very observant they may return at another time. The dogs are a good deterrant but if they are desperate enough they will find a way. It is always best to report it at least it brings an awareness that they are lurking! Take care

Worried for you,

Marion

    • 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 ?
