I had my lovely campervan stolen on friday between 9pm and 7am saturday morning. It was parked on Crystal Palace Rd opposite number 32. Its a westfalia circa 1978 red and white, reg 0AA 231T. I think it was checked out earlier by two men who were parked up nearby for a while in a grey car - I know that's not much to go on but if you have a campervan look out because they are being stolen, and if anyone has any info /thoughts whatever please let me know
Heres a photo - not the best but gives an idea - and no it wasn't alarmed - something I hadn't got round to which is now a source of some regret - its usually parked elsewhere so I wasn't as alert to the theft issue as I could have been....

If you'd checked DVLA you'd have seen that it's taxed until 1 Mar 2013. So what was the point of the message?

Nice looking van


It's a bit too late to advise Mary to fit an alarm or tracker, but other dub owners should if they haven't already as they are old (and valuable)vehicles which aren't that hard to steal compared to modern cars and vans


Mary, I can advise putting a stolen notice on http://thelatebay.com/ in the stolen section as someone may have seen it


I hope you recover it soon as it is upsetting when a classic vehicle is stolen

Ouch. Sorry to hear about this Mary.

I hope it gets returned to you one way or another.


I was advised to always park with the front wheels turned so they are tightly in contact with the kerb. This makes it difficult to get apparatus under the wheels to lift the vehicle on to a flatbed.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
