Overnight on sun 1st dec my 2 window boxes at front of my house were stolen. Had recently planted them, around £100 worth in total (2 earthernware window boxes with "feet", plants etc. Presume vehicle needed as heavy window boxes. Never happened before after 33 years of living in East Dulwich, a warning to all. Anyone else experienced this?

Sorry to hear that.

Someone stole mine once and used it to smash the windows a few doors along. 
Lots of plant thefts reported over summer in the side streets near the station. 
It will be Christmas wreaths next.

I also stopped a woman in my front garden trying to make off with my garden table. Didn’t stop when I asked her what she was doing, clearly thought it was totally fine. 
There are some very unpleasant people around.
 

  • Sad 1

I had mine stolen along with a big stone owl from my window ledge when I lived in Chelsea back in the early 90's...

Whover stole them was pretty brave because it was a raised ground floor with a long drop to the basement.

Back in those days the police came and made a report and I even recieved a letter from Victims Support..

Imagine that happening now?!😆

Their verdict was a group of people drunk after a night out on the Fulham Rd probably did it for a laugh..

In the past there has been a spate of thefts like this  around days like Mother's Day.

I had all mine stolen once, recently planted up.

When I phoned my insurance company, they would only pay out for the window boxes, not the plants and compost, so I didn't bother pursuing it.

The police said there had been lots of similar reports.

I now chain mine to the window sills.

    • Absolutely agree , the pool is in a disgusting state at the moment. I’ve also noticed how dirty it’s been lately, especially around the edges and in the changing rooms. It’s honestly at the point where it feels unhygienic, and I wouldn’t be surprised if people got sick from swimming in it. You’ve done the right thing by reporting it  hopefully if more of us raise concerns , they’ll take it seriously. Happy to add my voice to any formal complaint or petition if that helps. Thanks for speaking up — you’re definitely not alone!  
    • Let's see if we can get a key so the notice board can actually be updated by someone who cares and has time (thank you Jellybeanz, if you want to do that, and if Sue can get a key), or we can have a group of key holders and content managers. It's not hard is it. There's not really any point having one if it doesn't have information
    • I  got a take away yesterday evening.  I stupidly ordered a side as well as  a bowl.  I have a hefty appetite but I had leftovers for breakfast and still some for lunch-and delicious.
    • I find that very confusing to read, because you have not separated what I said in my previous post from your reply in a way that makes it easy to see who said what. It also makes it very hard to respond to what you have said without confusing things even further! Is there any reason why you didn't just use the quote option as usual?
