Just a warning to all to be extra vigilant / safety conscious at the moment!


We were out last night and came home around midnight to discover that our front door wouldn't close properly. A huge muddy footprint (half wiped off) was over the keyhole area and the door was misaligned off the steel frame so had quite clearly been kicked with some force.


Car was on drive, all lights were on etc & babysitter was inside - so whoever attempted to get in wasn't put off by the fact that people were home!!


Luckily our door is very secure (although still had to be repaired today)so guessing it was a single attempt, no luck, so left immediately?


Have notified police but thought should let others know to be aware!

Police said they are seeing a lot of this in Dulwich Village at the moment and mostly it is to get in and grab car keys to take that.

Took photos of footprint etc and recommended getting a car steering wheel lock as often that's a good deterrent to anyone trying to break in in the first place!

    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
