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.

  • 2 months later...

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 ...

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
