We?ve just our second Land Rover stolen from St Aidans Road last night. They have damaged. Windows to get in and steal.


If anyone saw anything last night, please let us know alternatively beware of your property and vehicles and make sure they?re secure. This is now our second vehicle stolen from here and our house has been broken into.

Hope you reported it? But equally why bother - police force has been stretched to capacity - humans are more important than, car theft, burglaries.


Personally, rather they get a grip with London stabbings - would be nice if they could deal with car theft etc..


Understaffed and over stretched - not helped by moving local officers to another patch.


If some one or people are going to break in, nothing one can do!


Beginning to think about leaving my car unlocked, with windows open abit - no need to smash them as these days, they are not interested in radios etc.


Identity fraud prob..


Doubt they would bother with an old Land Rover, so guess yours must be top of range and prob in another country or stole to order.

He's had his Land Rover nicked, clearly upset, annoyed and probably angry seeing as though it's the second one they have had nabbed. A bit of compassion might not go a miss?


Lcpt - really sorry to hear this. A couple years ago a neighbour had theirs stolen in the early hours of the morning from outside there house, now parks it on drive with a ground security bollard in front.

Thanks for your compassion dbboy. It?s was more to post 1) if anyone had seen anything 2) to let others/ the community know o be vigilant and ensure their possessions are as secure as possible. I think we often take it for granted that what ours will remain ours and sometimes extra precautions are needed.


Not sure what the other person is on about on their random post. Not once have I mentioned issues with the police, their priorities. Clearly has nothing better or more constructive to do with their time. I know I?d rather know if stuff like this is happening in the community!

If I am correct - St. Aidans Road come under the Dulwich Hill SNT.


There are 2 new officers PC. Lewis and PC Brewer


Their priorities for the next 3 months are vehicle crimes,and school liaison You can contact them via the Met police website under Dulwich Hill. They also hold 'surgeries' at Christ Church (Weds lunch time?) and at St. Clements Church Friern Road - not sure of days for this.


Please report this - Dulwich Hill ward is thought to be low crime area compared with the 2 other Dulwich SNT - however it has been discovered that residents are not reporting crimes to the SNT as they feel that Police will not be able to do anything. With the other SNTs it was discovered that more residents were reporting crimes and this has lead to a more visible police presence in specific streets/more car patrols also an arrest which resulted in less crime in those areas.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
