Just after 11 this morning a teenage lad (about 15 or 16) knocked on my door saying he had lost his cat and asked me if I'd seen it at all. Being a cat lover I felt sorry for him and said I'd keep an eye out. He told me the cat was called Milo and showed me a picture. I took a photo of his flyer and have attached it here. I asked him if he'd reported it missing here on the EDF and whether it was microchipped. He said yes to both.

30 seconds after he'd left I had a 2nd glance at the picture which reports a missing cat called Daisy and then realised something felt wrong. I went outside in to my road and found him lurking behind a van with 2 friends. I approached him and asked him the name of the cat, he replied Milo. I then asked why the photo mentions a cat called Daisy. They looked very sheepish and he said he got his friend to make the flyer and he'd messed it up. I called them out as bulls***ers and said if I saw them near my property again I'd contact the police. I videoed this exchange and have the faces of all 3 lads. I will not be posting it on here for obvious reasons.

Needless to say there is no missing cat on here called Daisy or Milo and the number to contact on the flyer is not recognised. My guess is they are scoping houses to see if people are in or away on holiday. I also have a motorbike in my front garden which could be a factor.

Is this worth contacting the police about?

    • 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."
