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.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
