Last night between 10-6 someone stole my wing mirror. Just the glass. Definitely theft and not vandalism as it's gone and rather neatly!

It seems they were after a particular car wing mirror as they also attempted to take OH wing mirror (it was moved into a facing up position) and his car was parked on Barry road.


Just posting to give people the heads up to look out for this. Though they do it while we are all probably aleep! Same thing hPpened to someone I know in the area about a fortnight ago. I wish they would get caught.

I live in SE16, about 18 months ago my daughter who lives in Dorset

was visiting us,the mirror glass from her Range Rover was taken along with

2 from BMW's 2 from a big van + 2 others.Unfortunately the actual mirror

housing on her car was damaged,over ?130 to fix.

Sorry to have to inform you all but this activity seems to be a precursor to Catalytic Converter thefts It has followed this "M.O." where I used to live outside of London and also where family reside in Bognor and friends to the west of London. Local Police should/are probably aware of what comes next so report it to them if you haven't already done so in order for them not to have to play "catch-up".
exactly same thing happened to us at the same night. I reported to the police and they came around. I have subsequently received an e-mail from them confirming the crime reference number etc. I will send him the link to this thread so that he is aware.

We both have Mercedes. Different models but they tried both of our cars!

@arworld do you have a contact number to the police contact as I should probably report even though I do feel like there's not much they can really do to help. They are opportunists who strike late at night!

Hi Guys,


The mirrors off of my Range Rover stolen on either 18/ 19th November. Just cost me ?256 to replace. Again neat job so this is theft simply to be re-sold. This occurred on The Hamlet, SE5. I noted the same theft has occurred on an Audi on Champion Hill.


Very upsetting as we discovered on our daughters 1st birthday and were due to travel and see friends in the evening.


I will report to police now.


Thanks


James

Hi all, I had both my wing mirrors stolen from my Audi Q5 on Goodrich road too - in my driveway. Both taken out cleanly with two wires hanging out. I'll be installing lights round the back now, not that it will help. I'll also be sleeping with a hammer next to me and if I hear any noise, I'll be out to bust some skulls.
Don't wanna be all doom and gloom but looks like my guess/warning about c/c could be spot on as I note most of the vehicles affected are " 4x4 ", with their higher clearance from the chassis to the road surface making them easier targets for these thieving scum-bags.

    • Our cellar was damp constantly and we were told that there were many underground streams in Dulwich (which eventually end up in the river in Belair Park),  Agree it is connected  to the water table. We had all old plaster removed from walls and replastered, 
    • Andy did a good job for me doing up a flat - bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen for a very reasonable rate. He’s a top notch painter and decorator and can turn his hand to many other trades too. I’d highly recommend him - nothing was too much trouble.
    • A ramp would not be suitable for Love Dulwich. Gradient would be too steep, also length of ramp would go into road. We considered a ramp in the house to get down 2 steps (internal) but an OT who measured said we would need a clear space of around 9 feet plus because of the height of steps.
    • Over the past few months, Jan from Silver Fern Landscapes has completed several projects for us.  (He was recommended by a neighbour.)  We have been very pleased with his work.  Some details are below: Built and replaced several trellis fence panels.  In one part it was very complicated due to a large vine that had grown into/around the trellis.  He was able to save the vine, having unpicked it from the old trellis and then securing it to the new.  The vine went into a bit of shock, but is now thriving. Repaired the top frame to our garden side-return door, replacing rotten wood, and repainting the new to match. Repaired the loose tiles in our front walkway Along the way, during his visits, Jan also gave advice on various topics, such as how to best care for: our recently re-planted lawn, a tree that lost a large branch, and the vine mentioned above.  His working style is straight forward...he shows up when he says he will, discusses what needs to be done, provides timely quotes, completes the work as agreed, and sends an invoice. No drama, no hassle.  We will definitely be calling on Jan again when future garden-related projects arise! silverfernlondon.co.uk/silver_fern_landscapes.html
