My husband has just had to chase away a young man who had pulled the fuel line from under his scooter and was draining off the fuel. 2 hatchbacks (1 light/silver 1 dark possibly blue) pulled up opposite our place near Heber Primary school, the guys had got out of the darker car and started to steal the fuel, husband went out to investigate, when he asked the guy what he was doing brazenly and calmly replied "taking your fuel mate, 'cos I need it", after pulling out a smartphone and attempting to film them he bolted jumped in the car and both cars sped off towards lordship lane with their lights off.


Didn't get any pictures or footage of them sadly as it all happened within about 20 seconds.


The lighter of the two cars had some females in the back and there must have been at least one other person in the darker car as they left far too quickly for him to have been driving.


We called 101, two police officers came round within 20mins they took the deatails and gave us a ref number etc. No one expects anything to happen, but it needs reporting if only to raise awareness. Hence this post.


So if you can be extra vigilant and secure your scooter a little better tonight then please do. I'd hate this to happen to anyone else.

> No one expects anything to happen,


With your husband's identification and testimony, combined with the police being able to match those to the perpetrator, via the car's registration number, I'd have thought there was a fair possibility. Maybe less so if both cars are stolen.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
