This afternoon a guy rang my bell offering to remove some rubbish from my front garden for a couple of quid, he said he was clearing stuff from up the road. I paid him ?2.50 to take some cardboard as I was keen to get rid of it before it got soaked and soggy etc. Turns out he just dumped it on the street around the corner. Not sure what he would have done if I hadn't been in when he rang, maybe the rubbish thing was just a charade when I turned out to be in.


Anyway here's a still from my CCTV and a link to the video

The most traumatic part of the whole incident was seeing my developing bald spot from an elevated camera position ;-)



On a related note I have registered a neighbourhood watch scheme in Silvester Rd, currently I'm the only lonely member so if you live in the street, do sign up here > http://www.ourwatch.org.uk

No dimples, he didn't pick up those missed bits but I went back in and was working for a while before I checked, that's what made me check round the corner and discover the rest of it.


The CCTV camera I use is very cheap indeed but I've been impressed with the results, it's very simillar in spec and look to this one > http://www.amazon.co.uk/SUNLUXY?-Waterproof-Outdoor-Surveillance-Security/dp/B00B22RIY6/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1390069374&sr=8-13&keywords=cctv+camera


singalto I will do some recruiting when I have a free evening, might even get to know all the neighbours!

Rolo1 the camera records continuously and stores several days at a time. It requires mains power, I drilled a hole through the upstairs window frame to accommodate the power cable. It also has a monitor cable for a small monitor for live viewing but I don't use this facility. The camera has Infra red lights for night vision which actually appear red after dark and provides perfectly viewable footage.

there's always one contrarian...

Oh I see, it's my fault..are you one of those people that think it's a girls fault if she gets raped because she wore a short dress etc. I thought you were just a media invention but you actually exist!


Not a very promising 1st day on the forum James.

Why pay to have someone take away rubbish. ? If you do, you are personably responsible to make

sure it is disposed of responsibly. and that they are licensed to do so.

You could be fined yourself if fly tipped rubbish is traced back to your address.


Usually if you leave cardboard out on your collection day the refuge collection teams will take it away for free.


I understand it is not a good idea to leave some packaging outside your home.

It may well advertise you have just purchased a New TV or Computer..

Thanks for sharing this, NickT.

The amazon links don't show any stand-alone cameras, with built-in memory card facilities like you describe. Any pointers?

purplehaze I can see that my rape comparison might offend for which I apologise but I do fail to see how being attacked or stollen from or swindled can be ones own fault. There's another thread on the forum about a guy who was mugged at knife point on Peckham Rye last night, you could say he was stupid to cross the park in the dark but I maintain it is the guy with the knife who was wrong.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
