I was broken in to last week, They caught the guy that broke in, he was fresh out of prison, wanted to go back in, left his prints and waited to get picked up - said he hid my stuff in a bush and went back to get it and it was gone - if anyone hears of anything like this, let me know, I would love my jewellery back :(


He took watches, a camera with extra zoom lense, my granddads tie pin, my gold bracelet and cash :(

How infuriating - if he'd kept it, he could have given it straight to the police, even better than fingerprints and you'd have got your stuff back. Of course someone may have found it and handed it in (fingers crossed) but it could be stuck in the system, make sure the police follow up on it in a few days.


Is there any way we can get this out onto Twitter? I am on there, but don't think that anyone local would be following me (am very much a newbie), what you need is a local organisation to get the message out, who may have lots of local followers who wouldn't necessarily see it on here. Can anyone help?


I know it doesn't help you buntysammy, but the thief must have been pretty desperate (and stupid and selfish too). Will keep my eyes peeled too, and hope your belongings make their way back to you.

Sorry to say this, but if the thief's story is true (and why would he leave stuff in a bush?), then whoever found the stuff in the bush was either honest or dishonest.


If he or she was honest, then they would have handed the stuff in to the police immediately (or very soon afterwards) or at least reported that they had found it.


If he or she was dishonest, then they would have kept it or disposed of it for money, and aren't very likely to respond to an appeal for its return, on Twitter or not.


I really really hope you get it back, Bunty, but I don't think the chances are too high unfortunately :-S

    • Get on those waiting lists asap if you haven't already. I waited till after the birth and it was very challenging getting a place once our daughter turned 1.  She ended up at LEYF Camberwell (we had to accept 2 days to start and gradually got to ramp up 5 days). She absolutely loved it there after an initial shaky start but her key worker and team worked really hard to settle her in. They spent a lot of time giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. Great outdoor space and really caring, enthusiastic staff with low turnover. Would highly recommend. 
    • We are expecting a baby in a few months, and have heard about the epic waiting lists for nurseries in the area... We have been to look around, and are considering, LEYF Camberwell, N Family Club Camberwell and Purple Jay Herne Hill. Would love to hear any feedback from experienced parents!
    • Most of the shops in LL have too small a footprint. That's why we have so few chains. That won't change quickly. 
    • Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉
