Last week my boyfriend had gone out at 7pm in our car when he came back at 10.45 his van was blocking our entrance you turn into our flats . The van was in the car park outside our flats just on botton off Sydenham hill. Someone had got in van ( yet again no signs of Falsed entry , turned van around and left it blocking entrance with head lights on . Not quite sure what theirs plans where .
I can completely understand why you might leave a buggy hidden in the boot. They are perhaps not the most obvious thing to steal and in this rubbish weather you have to bring buggy in to clean house with mud and leaves all over the wheels. I don't have a car btw so my small flat is covered in leaves.
Yup. Getting small, tired kids and babies out of a car in the dark and in crap weather makes a journey back to the car to unpack a buggy/pram a right pain and sometimes impractical, we often leave ours there it's not like leaving a bag or a mobile, I completley emphasise so the smuggy 'common sense posters' should do a bit of thinking themselves.....

Have you all been watching Loot/Gumtree/Ebay/Local Facebook/EDF to see if any of these prams are for sale?


If you wouldn't leave a wallet filled with ?800 in cash in your car overnight, why would you leave a bugaboo in the boot? I am not unsympathetic because obviously the thieves are the bastards and it should of course be possible to leave everything lying around without risk of it being stolen, but it is a legitimate question in a relatively high crime area I would have thought.

I was on here looking for something else and stumbled upon this thread. We had our bugaboo stolen from our car sometime between new year eve and the morning of the 2nd jan from Silvester Road. Seems to be a high demand, only other thing taken was the satnav. The car was definitely locked at night. I have searched ebay etc but no sign, did anyone else have any luck?
Oh my god I am so glad I was on the only one... i thought it was personal! I had my Bugaboo stolen from the boot of the car with the footmuff and rain cover. LIVID! We called the police and have a crime no and we live on Pellatt road. The car was locked and it was parked right outside our house. it happened on the 30th Dec. Do we know if there is any CCTV cameras on the roads? such scum bags
Just a general heads up - our car was broken into in the parking lot (Choumert Grove/ Peckham) yesterday around 5.00ish. Nothing was stolen except a school bag (!), and unfortunatley car door jammed open with a screw driver or something so the door has to be repaired. We did report to the police as apparently there are cameras around the car park .......

We have had our car broken into twice on Jennings Road, first time they took the Sat Nav, the second time over Christmas the iCandy was taken.


This morning I happened to look out of the window around 6.45 and I actually saw the man trying to open the boot of our car. Shouted out of the windows at him and he walked across the road to his push bike which was perched against a wall and pedalled off. I am sure it is the same man as our CCTV showed someone on a push bike a month ago circling outside our house.


The man is around 5 foot 6, eastern eurpean, short brown hair, blue jeans with a beige jacket. Police have been notified.


With a definitive description hopefully this scum can finally be picked up by the police but I doubt it.


Still cannot believe the cheek of this man seeing as it was broad daylight!!

eastern eurpean


I'm afraid I don't know what Eastern Europeans look like - how are they different from Western Europeans? Southern Europeans (from e.g. Southern Italy, Greece, Southern Spain, do occasionally have a more tanned look (probably from being more tanned). Or are you trying to say 'Roma' without saying it (and I'm not sure, out of a hooped caravan, I'd be able to spot a Roma in a crowd anyway). People from the far North of Europe (Northern Norway, Finland, Northern Russia, are of course more easily spotable, as they are ethnically different from other Europeans (the Sami).

    • There's probably a bigger discussion on why we celebrate Christmas (pagan/religious festival) and why everything has to shut down.  I've enjoyed Xmas days in Spain, Mexico and France where some businesses and restaurants are open, and in a number of non-Christrian countries.  In both sets of occasions it has been festive, but not over the top and the Spanish seem to have a more relaxed attitude in a country where the church is probably more important than the UK.  A Lounge conversation.  I'll no doubt be popping into the Forest Hill Road supermarket on Xmas day for things we have forgotten, with many others in a similar situation who grew up in the Christian faith (I've long since been an atheist).   
    • Would anyone have ends of balls of wool, any colour, to mend an old blanket? Any colour? With thanks Mila
    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
