Police say "They can't be bothered" - despite ?400 vandalism bill


Recommended Posts

Extremely disappointed (not so say angry and outraged) by the police tonight. After 3 separate calls they told me they couldn't be bothered to call the owner of a car which is blocking my garage - despite my scooter being stripped for parts a couple of weeks ago, when left on the street. We're not talking about a driveway here - it's an illegally partied car on a public highway.


Apparently it's not their problem. Neither is it the council's according to them.


The Police were prepared to send two officers to my house when my scooter was vandalised - to advise me on crime prevention but now refuse to even call the owner of a car that prevents me from keeping it safe.


It's obviously moronic.


So - if you can't rely on the council. And the police refuse to help - what do you do when your driveway is blocked?

I'm not the police have phone numbers recorded for every car.

They should have accepted your call and for a blocked drive blocking you exiting they will assign a non urgent ticket and send someone eventually.


If you privately email I will happily look into it for you.

I'm not too sure on this but believe it is not illegal to block access to your property

but maybe illegal as James indicated to block exit from your property...


These issues are always complex and do not always make common sense.


Still annoying though.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
