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!

    • Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent. 
    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
    • Dawson Heights again  2 lifts out of order at ladlands block Christmas Eve so of course the 🛗 will not be repaired tomorrow Christmas Day or Boxing Day or when how do elderly or mothers with children and prams and food and presents get to the floors and with the 10 minutes you get to drop off  to park and not get a Pcn fine and delivery food to relatives who can’t leave their house unbelievable Southern housing does any know email address of Coe of southern housing 
    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
