Well I would report to the police but don?t hold your breath. Police had the footage from our doorbell and potential ID and did nothing. They?re completely understaffed.


If it?s the person I think it is, he has a string of convictions (something crazy like 30 or 40 including one for armed robbery so do not approach.)


We?ve teamed up with neighbours and take all parcels in as soon as we see them now.

I think if left on your doorstep most companies will replace as packages are supposed to be given to someone or left in an agreed secure place. My little group of neighbours in flats keep an eye out and take in parcels and the text the neighbours.

By the way, do not approach this guy, just report...a Stanley knife can do a lot of damage and it?s not worth the risk.

I recognised the suspected parcel thief today. I followed him on my bike around Friern, Upland and Hillcourt Roads.

He had a blond female passenger, both in there 50?s.They were driving suspiciously, reversing the car, a Blue-green Volvo,looking at houses they had just driven past.

My parcel was taken from Worlingham road on Monday. Photo from Amazon to prove it was delivered just after 13.00 (left very obviously on doorstep in full view of street).

All I got was an opened box from Amazon that wasn?t addressed to me, with only 1 item left inside. We delivered the box to the correct address (Melbourne grove) to find they had an open Amazon box from another address?.

Looks like the thief is collecting Amazon parcels, and then leaving behind the boxes with whatever they don?t want when they steal another parcel.

> has no told the police about this.


That may give them good cause, if they happen to come across him en route, to stop him and have a look in his rucksack. But the chance of that happening is always going to be pretty small. The best way to nab him is probably for any of us to follow, on foot or wheels, and observe.

I think what he does is make sure it looks like he?s delivering a parcel, which is the previous box he?s stolen.

Probably starts off the day with an empty box, then just moves each stolen box to the next victim, once he?s taken the contents if he wants them.

Would be interesting to see how far the trail goes, good evidence for when he?s nabbed.

I can't find the clip, but someone in the states made a fake delivery device that covered the thief with glitter, played a loud alarm and video recorded them when they open the package.


Funny thing is the thief normally abandoned the package when it went off ..


Now if we had some clever people on here ...

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
