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 ...

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
