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.

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.

    • When you got there and they were out, did you say Sod it ? 😅
    • That's not a bad idea, though I also want to keep the site as simple and user friendly as possibly. It's ultimately about getting a balance between being informative and being a good read. Stars are useful but I'd like people to read the reviews too. 
    • Standard places haven’t got any? Anyone seen any on sale this week? thanks
    • Sue. You really don’t have to keep saying about the electoral system    a) we all know about it b) it doesn’t matter    FPTP is the system we have always had and hopefully we will get rid of it someday but it is what it is    when anyone suggests changing the system Corbyn is right there at the front of the queue to prevent it   so its pointless him or any of supporters complaining about it    the evidence you want is the result of the elections. You can’t have clearer evidence.
