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.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
