I realise this is a long shot, but after just 3 months in our beautiful new home on Forest Hill Road, we were burgled on Monday afternoon. Computers, cameras, sounddock etc... were all taken - which can all be replaced.


Also taken, amongst other jewellery, was a bracelet given to me by my mother. This has huge sentimental value.

It is very distinctive, and has her name "Judi Oliver" inscribed quite large on the outside.


Because of this it might be unlikely the burglar could pass it on / sell it. The name is on the outside, not the inside, and is the main feature of the bracelet. The bracelet itself is silver links, with a flat silver plate - approx 40 x 15mm. On this plate her name is inscribed.


We are hoping that maybe by posting this, if it has been dumped somewhere or pawned, someone might notice it.


Please do get in touch if you see this bracelet anywhere. It is completely worthless, but to me it's one of the most important things I own.


Many thanks in advance

Hi Renata


Thank you for your message - very kind.


Unfortunately I dont have any photos - I wish I had. The computer and camera were also taken so

all photos have been lost...


I've attached a very drawing of the bracelet to give you an idea, best I can do.


Thanks again

Jaki

Do they really get off lightly? I have no ideas what the sentencing guidelines are.


To the OP: Very sorry this happened to you. As its not worth very much and is very distinctive hopefully you will get in back soon.

Good idea. And it might be a good idea to visit some - if not all - of the local pawn shops or outfits that trade cash for gold (assuming the braclet is made of a precious metal).

Thanks all - have been looking on, and will continue to look on ebay - pawn shops are on the list for tomorrow although the police mentioned there are so many online jewellery purchasers now that they tend to use those, so they won't risk being caught on CCTV in / near the shops.


Sheila - We are near the Forest Hill Road entrance to Canonbie road - not sure whether that would be best described as middle, top or bottom...


On a separate note the police said there's a big spate of break ins on Barry and Friern Rd at the moment so if anyone lives in that area, take extra care to lock up - even if you're just nipping out.


Thanks again - nice to see so many people who would take the time and effort to post...

Hi JDAA,

I'm really sorry ot hear this. God luck recovering your precious family jewellery.


Often burglars try and repeat such break-ins with similar neighbouring properties. Police don't tell neighbours. If you can do tell your neighbours and how the burglar broke-in. This might help avoid others suffering your experience.

Well in our case - with a front door key.


The police suggested possibly a tradesman who has worked at the property in the past and have had a spare set cut without our knowledge, and come back to break in. I'm really at a loss as to how anyone could have a key to the place - it's a house, not a block which other people would also have keys to. Trying to rack my brain as to whether I could have dropped mine outside the house at some point and an opportunist has picked them up and come back to break in.

    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
