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?

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest.
