According to the police officer who knocked at my door to ask if I'd seen anything?


Between midnight and 6am. Residents upstairs sleeping. In through unlocked back gate/patio doors. Silent. Pros, most probably.


When I asked about abbotswood rd she said there'd been break ins but didn't give me details.


Rather worried now. Between break-ins and two muggings (one at shaw rd junction and one in the wee park) its not feeling nearly as safe down here as it once did. :(

Hi .

Well the break;ins were in the early hours of the morning , because of the warm weather people seem to leave doors open, on this occasion the thief a black-man was helping his self when the owner found him in her living room in the early hours, so beware this guy seems to have located him self in the east Dulwich area , and our street abbotswood road.

Thank you all. Not break-ins so much as walk-ins -- unlocked back-garden gate, unlocked patio doors. OK. Leaving off-street access unsecured is a behaviour that I can choose not to adopt.


(It's about making one's place slightly harder to crack than are one's neighbours'.)


We've had an idyll here for the ten years plus that I've been around. We can get back to that again, I trust and hope.

Some information .

my daughter has told me that where she lives , there has been break-ins , opposite the railway embankment east dulwich .

they seem to remove the bathroom vent from the out side and open the window from the inside , so beware lock your windows remove the keys .

dead lock your locks on your front doors - and yale locks .

as far as i know its not just abbotswood now its the whole area.

take care all.

I live on oakhurst and I think I heard someone trying to get in last night. Since having a baby I am an insanely light sleeper and something made me store but as I was falling back to sleep it sounded like someone was trying to jimmy a window or shake the front door so I shOt up and checked the baby's room and then turned all the lights on and checked the windows and everything seemed fine but the hairs on the back of my neck were up and my instinct told me it wasn't just in my head!


We were burgled last August so the house is always securely locked!

    • Yes, it is just that the local demographic is soon to have a large shift and more late night shopping catering for student needs is likely to be very popular. Presumably the massive student lodgings development plans for Melbourne Grove will have catalysed the Londis application. Wasn't there also an application for a late night bar or club at some point round there? Still, all this will help turn Melbourne Grove North into a real 'vibrant, urban destination' and 'town centre' and, for sure, we can expect lots and lots of e- bikes and scooters to be 'parked' around the place.
    • Stereotypes are based on actual real behaviours.  They can be inappropriately applied to a whole group and can overstep the mark, potentially being offensive.  But comments made on Corbyn and some of his followers are often accurate.  That's not saying he didn't have some good policies, often picked up by the large parties, and is not principled.  I saw him many years ago at an event celebrating Tony Benn where he was excellent.  Perfect for a back bencher. The damage caused by his Brexit stance is difficult to reverse, even ignoring the vote and the outcome, there could have been cross party working and agreement of taking it forward.  And being an apologist for Russia is just ridiculous.  
    • "don't get me wrong.." is always a red flag. It always comes just after something unhinged  - in this case " under the spell of Sadiq Khan's innumerate gnomes" and just before the opposite of what the "don't get me wrong" is meant to deflect from   Nothing in the post describes any problem - it describes things they don't LIKE - but no actual problems
