Hi there, our beloved orange vw t25 campervan with a white stripe down the side and a cream roof and pop top was stolen at some point between 22:00 on Saturday 27/09/13 - 07:00 on 28/09/13 from Honor Oak Rd, opposite fairlawn school near the P4 bus stop.

Please get in touch if you have seen this van driving about, if you have spotted anything similar for sale, either as the whole van, or for spares. It's a turbo Diesel, left hand drive. The driver and passenger seats are beige and brown, brown door cards. The rest of the interior has a new white headliner, beige carpet on the walls, orange plaid full width rock and roll bed, rear seatbelts with two child seats called "Pampero Comfitrip" and a portable green electolux fridge.

If you happened to be coming home late on the evening of the 27th/early on the morning of the 28th and remember seeing it parked up it would also be useful to know as it could help us narrow down the time that it was taken.

We brought this van as a banger years ago and have been painstakingly restoring it, I can't put a price on the sentimental value, our family holidays will never be the same again, we can't believe it, we're gutted.

Here's to hoping! I've had another thought, if anyone spots a load of camping detritus fly tipped or dumped in a wheelie bin or skip (old folding camping chairs, those plastic foldaway camping tables, bedding, a large zebra print blanket)can you let me know

thanks

very sorry to hear of your theft, a while ago there was a whole spate of campervan thefts reported on the forum.

There is a camper van open day today on Barry Road so maybe let the guys there know about your van- they could keep their ears open for anything suddenly appearing on the market. You could ask them to circulate picture.

Also there seems to be a regular VW sale around Bermondsey- you can see them lined up along the road under the railway as the train goes towards London Bridge.

Good Luck. What an absolute bummer. Hope she turns up safe and sound.

I am so sorry to hear about this, having converted a panel van into a camper, I know just how much hard work goes on in such a project and how much of you as a person goes into it. This is not just a vehicle, this is something that means more than the cost of what went into it. Unfortunately the scumbag who took it probably doesn't see it that way. I wish you every luck in finding your beloved camper so that more family holidays can be taken in it.
There have been a number of these kind of thefts over the course of the last few years and they will continue unless please help make it stop. It's not just the people doing the actual theft, it's all those facilitating it by buying panels and spares no questions asked from these little bastards. There's no chance we'll ever see our van again, our kids have been crying their eyes out :( If you get offered anything suspicious please help and get in touch

Trying every angle - still no word, someone must know something, remember people, there's ?1000 for information which leads to the location of the van:

Good people to get in touch with are all the local postmen/women. My uncles (one of a kind) car was nicked and they found it as his postie who was a fan of the car spotted it parked in an estate on his rounds. Maybe speak to the guys in the local sorting offices and ask if they would put up a few posters to raise awareness? Hope you find it.

I really really hope you find it, and certainly go for the sorting office idea, but I'd be surprised if a thief would park such a distinctive looking campervan in the same area that he (I'm assuming it's a he) had stolen it?

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
