criminal damage to window

[Countrlass22]

Hi just bringing to attention.

we woke to find a damage to our lovely bay window.Glengarry road happened around 1.30am Saturday 27th April, as we in housing trust property informed them had report to Met Police.

but due lack evidence criminal case dropped.........awaiting glass replacement.....we had plant pot dumped in our garden by late ED drunken residents before.

while waiting for glass replacement we had an issue that saddens us...on whats usually a family friendly supportive neighbourly street not one neighbour ask if we okay nothing.........

lived here since 2008..so we left feeling Dulwich isn't friendly place live.....no thoughtful neighbours no one wanting admit heard anything.

yet burglar alarm goes of everyone out see if okay........

and are people about that time in our road........been few crimes here recently not done by accident........message edited due lack understanding.........

Are you ok?

[Countrlass22]

Thankyou..............we feel unsafe..........told glass is toughened....neighbours don't have double glazing so thought someone hears it would be very loud.

just trying bring it in open see if anyone heard anything.

police did say will check any similar cases found in the local area..... we feel very vulnerable as easy to walk up to our window.

anyone knows what kind lock be easy put onto wooden bay window.......its latch type.

or entry alarm on window or vibrational type if glass damaged again.

Sorry to hear what happened to you. Try Callow locksmiths on Lordship Lane. They can come round and give you a free quote.

How horrible for you ,and especially horrible no nice helpful neighbours .

I'd wait a bit about getting latch fitted . Maybe I'm missunderstanding ( brain is a bit foggy today ) but if the glass is broken a lock won't help will it .

Or is glass toughned now ?

Just don't want you to be sold something expensive ,though Callows have never tried to to do that to me ,they've always been very good .

This type of thing is simple and good IME

Try not to let it get you down ,I expect it's random drunk people .

Can you plant prickly hedge ?
