Last night, Monday 9th, at around 8.30 I was stationary at the traffic lights on East Dulwich Grove/Peckham Rye when a scumbag on a cycle came alongside my passenger door. He said you just hit me, i knew i hadnt but before i could lock my door, he opened it and grabbed my coat from the front seat. We both spotted my bag (which was under the coat) at the same time, and both grabbed for it - he won ! He cycled off through the alley between the flats. Luckily there was nothing of value in the bag - apart from my reading glasses - i'm blind without them.

I just wanted to warn everyone to be careful at traffic lights and to make sure you lock your doors.

My mum was robbed at traffic lights-they smashed her window and took her bag off the passenger seat before he knew what was happening. I don't put my bag on passenger seat now. How cheeky to have opened your door. Glad they got nothing of value to them and hope you're ok.
Sorry to hear about your terrible experience, I never lock my door but my wife always tells me to, you always think nothing will happen, but its a unfortunate reminder we all need to be more careful. Hope you're ok and glad that at least they didn't make off with any valuables.
Thanks everyone, yes i'm fine but was very upset at the time - i think i felt quite stupid! I did call the police and they were very good and drove me round to see if we could spot him, but no luck. He was white, probably 30 - 40 wearing dark clothes and it was a dark bike. He had short balding hair and he looked rough - probably a skag head lol. I'll know him if i see him again - so he better watch out.

    • Hey fellow cat owners! Was hoping that you would consider putting collars with bells on your outside cats? I’ve wee fledglings in a nest and at the moment I’m defending them against an orange and white dude (I call him Trump) and his nemesis, a lovely Tuxedo cat (I call Elon)… they are quite the double act in my back garden!!!! It would give the wee ones a bit of a better chance if a bell could announce their approach. And as a feline owner myself, I know cats will be cats, but every little helps even the odds. many thanks.
