ceebeebee Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Please look out for it, the police say its likely to be dumped a few streets away as too distinctive to hold onto for long. Reg starts WX05. Keys stolen in house burglary near Goose Green. PM me if any news.

Mick Mac Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I dont understand, I thought they took upmarket stolen cars away for respray and sale abroad or is that a myth. Whats the point in them stealing it and leaving it a few streets away? Surely they attract more attention geting out of a porsche than if they just left the burglary in their own transport. Anyway - i hope you recover it. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/34631-stolen-this-afternoon-grey-porsche-911/#findComment-664878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I thought the same, Mick Mac... respray, serial numbers filed off and re-stamped, documents and plates fabricated, car exported.I guess it depends whether the theives are pros or just kids.

red devil Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Sometimes a car is only used to carry the goods stolen from the flat/house, and then dumped once they've off-loaded the booty...

Jah Lush Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 A car like that is stolen to order. Nice respray and a change of number plates. Bob's yer uncle. Hope you were insured.

LondonMix Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 The advice from the police is correct based on a friend's experience. It wasn't the car that was targeted if you read to OPs post but rather the house that was burgled and then the keys stolen as part of that burglary. The car was likely used as an after thought to transfer goods as another poster pointed out. A professional car thief stealing the car to order as you suggest wouldn't have bothered breaking into the house to steal other items.

Mick Mac Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 LondonMix. As I said above if the car is only a means of transporting goods from the burglary then they are attracting a lot more attention to themselves getting out of a Porsche. Seems ridiculous to me.CBB. Did it ever turn up ? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/34631-stolen-this-afternoon-grey-porsche-911/#findComment-665402 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceebeebee Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hi all, thanks for your thoughts and advice. I think it's very odd they took Porsche "for transport"as so distinctive, and they only took fairly light items from house, AND, my own rather less distinctive car was also outside the house and they took the keys to that too. We thought the car was stolen to order, but it was the police who said this was less likely! My husband is in touch with the loss adjuster, and there's no sign of the car turning up.....

JohnL Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 The riots were a crime against the state, and the people involved now know the lengths to which a state goes. So they won't do that again.We won't see sweeping up work like that for normal crime, and I don'tknow if we would be allowed to set-up private CCTV crime ID networks toallow others to do it on the same level.mynamehere Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> Peckham Rye Snt> DATES FOR OUR STREET BRIEFINGS> Thursday 8th August 1100-1130 Peckham Rye Caf?> Thursday 15th August 1900-1930 Harris Boys> Academy> Saturday 24th August 1100-1130 Harris Girls> Academy> Consider "befriending" Peckham Rye Safer> Neighbourhoods Team on Facebook.

mynamehere Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Just to be perfectly clear what I'm talking about is CCTV entirely on private property and entirely directed on to your own entrance points. I don't think there is anything controversial about this. And then, if someone crowbars up my windows as they did within this last week, I have an image of them doing it. Better than prints of their gloved hands as a way to identify someone.
