To the person who stole my window?can I have it back please?!

?

I recently had a glazed timber window frame taken/stolen from the front of my house on Underhill Road.? This was left for me by my local carpenter out the front of my house. He is now in his 70s and has lived on Underhill for the majority of his life so probably wasn?t expecting it to be stolen from his long experience of the area. This may sound a bit na?ve, as the taker may have innocently thought it was destined for the tip, but it was up by the front door in my porch rather than at the end of the drive by the rubbish/road. It also had a clear note on it, implying that it was not rubbish and to be taken.

?

This has left me with an awkward situation with my carpenter as I didn?t ask him to leave it unmanned at the front of my house.? If anyone has taken this, please can they? let me know, I understand if you thought it was up for grabs?but it wasn?t!!? besides it is a bespoke size and I doubt anyone else will find a good use for it.


Thanks for reading.

That's awful. It seems as if various people think anything not screwed down is fair game at the moment.


Have you reported it to the police? I believe that if it's on private property, even if out in the open, it's still technically theft. If you see something in someone's front garden, you're supposed to ring the doorbell and ask permission to remove it. I know we've had people do that before.


Hope you track it down.

    • I was surprised to learn that East Dulwich Picturehouse now only screens PG-rated films for their baby-friendly showings, unlike other Picturehouse branches. Apparently, this change happened after a complaint to the council about showing films above a PG rating to infants. Afaik, this policy only applies to this  branch. As a local parent, I find this frustrating. It limits our options, especially when many of us would love the chance to watch a wider range of films while caring for our little ones. For example, during Oscar Week, only one vintage film is being shown. Are we really expected to only consume toddler-focused content, like Cocomelon? I also worry about the precedent this sets. If other institutions, like the Tate or the National Portrait Gallery, applied similar restrictions, parents could be left with only child-oriented content. Babies under one don’t fully comprehend adult themes, so shouldn’t there be more flexibility? I’d love to hear what others think—should this policy be reconsidered?
    • I am a secondary teacher in the local area and totally agree that it’s so important for teenagers to be given a space to connect and learn skills. I think it’s lovely that they’ve been able to do this organically due to the carpark being derelict but it defeats the very concept of dynamic urban living to use this as a reason to block the development of the space into something that could benefit the whole community. I would really welcome an entrepreneur bringing a proposal forward that thinks about how we could best make the space work for everyone. I’d also love to see the council engage with the kids themselves on how and where to make the skate park permanent, perhaps in Dulwich Park itself. Give them some funding to make it nicer than a space by such a busy traffic route. I also agree we shouldn’t romanticise the skate park - they’re not principals in the Royal Ballet Company. I don’t think it’s hugely affecting the community, but let’s not pretend there isn’t some underage drinking and drug use going on there. But mainly the building itself is a waste of space and it’s often depressing to see the private security company vans parked out there late at night. Let’s use it as an opportunity to engage in conversations about what this part of Lordship Lane really needs. 
    • This kind of thing? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/286379655798?_skw=vw+front+radar&itmmeta=01JNGWMJGWJBG0HRT2XS211T68&hash=item42ad8ec276:g:ZHUAAOSwJdFnxhF9&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA8FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1dY%2BfrruzZmTdah0d0nXmXVc9FNiTWblTNNY8jXn37QS%2BAVkwkKSljysp3AMj48HKn63sLwl6BYEqy685rlqwWykTX8It5nPW2FAOfewwqb0iEuSPS6%2BmFgBLH75xBeWGHsV%2BgkvvBmlxApgnovZUAVP7QA6XPgyIZDu54SPmrp0v5AtIDU8Mg4O7QJ5gZF%2FBfgePNdu0vc2xLzsSBPoF1Wh84K6OElw3PZl585iPqbaEIvTGa9J3glnIrh5i4SwrG8SmrOtb9gMt3%2Bovwifcz%2FC5GaC59xp%2FP%2B2iKeJcsw5w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBMgqnSnKxl
