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

    • Moved into new house and hallway isn't big enough for double buggy. Also steps up make it awkward and too heavy with both girls in. Looking to store in a buggy shed similar to nursery if anyone is looking to part with one?
    • A huge thank you to those amazing people who stopped to help my daughter yesterday evening in ED  - she is now safely home and ok
    • You are best going to Battersea and adopting a dog. You’ll be able to meet different dogs and work with the staff to understand the breeds, temperaments etc.  Training is ongoing. If you get a very well trained puppy and don’t continue and maintain the training you will soon have an untrained puppy.  You have to put the work in.  Are you ready for this? It’s a lifetimes commitment and you don’t get to walk away or change your mind. Maybe register with Borrow My Doggy for six months and get to know local dogs. I’d happily meet you for a dog walk if it will help?
    • The Veolia teams that have serviced Underhill for the last few years (certainly before lockdown) have generally been very tidy. A few spillages but not noticeably many, and often from very overfilled bins. I have seen them take brooms to sweep up real accidental spillages. There are problems with fox or cat scattered rubbish from accessible bins, and from food wrappers discarded by passers bye, but that is neither Veolia's nor the council's fault.
