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?

    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. They're clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
