Hello,  I am a journalist for the Sunday Times investigating VW car badge's being stolen for a news story. On VW's the car sensor is kept behind the badge and it costs upwards of £1,000 to replace them. I saw a thread on this forum back in February saying people in East Dulwich have been victims of this crime. 

The Guardian did a story about this issue in south London last year as well: https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/may/04/vw-cars-parts-theft-cruise-control-sensors-insurance-golf-passat

I am looking for case studies of people who have had their car badge's stolen for the story - please get in touch via email or WhatsApp if this has happened to you. My email: [email protected] - phone/WhatsApp: 07306356469

I have also heard Mercedes cars get targeted for this crime. If you have a different make of car and this happened to you, please do get in touch as well.

Thanks,

Hugo

    • Was that the Hare Krishna place? I can't remember exactly where it was (or maybe still is) but it was somewhere around Oxford Street.
    • The "for sale" section on this forum lets people offer things for free or cheaply. And the "wanted" section let's people ask for things they want or need, for free or cheaply. There are also existing schemes like Freecycle, and also local  food banks. And there is (or was) a local scheme where you can bring things to be repaired free. I think it is/was based in Nunhead. Isn't that simpler than having a barter system? You might have something to give away, but the person who wants it might not have anything you want. Or have I misunderstood how it works? I can see that offering services free might not fit into existing schemes, but depending on what they were, what would happen if things went horribly wrong eg someone wrecked your house? Sorry if the above sounds very negative. 
    • I'm wondering why they would do that? Because surely positive reviews could only help them, and if they thought they might get negative reviews, shouldn't they have been addressing the reasons that might be (unless someone had an unwarranted grudge against them)? But in any case, how could they have stopped people posting reviews on here? PS I have corrected your typo! 😃
    • Agreed. Just stating as a historic fact they tried to stiffle reviews.
