Burglary on Barry Road today... (July 9th 2014)

[sophie_e_down]

Between 9am and 1:30pm someone has smashed through our front door and then in to the two flats. Laptops and some jewellery has been taken including a ring I got for my 30th.

To have the audacity to do it in broad daylight on a busy street with buses going up and down is disgusting.

Please look after your properties and look out for your neighbours.

[Robert Poste's Child]

That'd appalling. I hope someone will have seen something and will come forward.

[sophie_e_down]

The police knocked on some neighbours but nobody saw or heard anything.

It's quite scary to think how horrid people are.

Our laptop had all our wedding stuff on it - guest list etc. Am gutted.

I posted this on another thread and it fits here as well

The police do take these crimes seriously and with cut backs their efficiency is increased if we all help

There are online sites where crime data is loaded so that you can see it and patterns can be monitored. There are successes in taking criminals off the streets but there's always the next person who thinks crime pays more than an education and a job. Like local foxes, one criminal goes but another takes their place

Set up Neighbourhood Watch groups and you'll get everything delivered via e-mail. To have a group registered with a NHW police contact person:

Address Camberwell Police Station (MC) 22A Camberwell Church Street SE58QU

The operative word is NEIGHBOURhood not watch. Never leave doors or windows unlatched when you walk away. When you can afford to replace single with double pane and s set of TWO locks across the top. Dead bolt doors. Bicycles LOCKED even in your backyard or hall

So sorry about your burglary.

There is so much building work going on locally, I wonder whether people who see something like this, or hear crashing noises, just think it is builders?

[sophie_e_down]

Yeah it is a busy road so probably don't notice strange noises.

Freaking nightmare!

[MelonSmasher]

The police couldn't care less neither could your neighbors.We live in a country where you lay dead in your own living room and only get found when your direct debit doesn't clear

[bridgetm]

Sorry to hear about your burglary. Which end of Barry Road was it? I live on the street and would also be keen to join a neighborhood watch group. Does anyone have any details?

[sophie_e_down]

We're just up from the Upland Road junction...

[Mick Mac]

It should not be a shock re broad daylight burglaries. They even break in at night when adults and children are asleep upstairs, which is worse I think.

But sorry Sophie for your experience and distress.

My neighbours property on Barry Road (near Goodrich) was also broken into via the front door on Sunday during the world cup final. Be vigilant people and double-lock your doors.

[J-Rex]

That's awful, I've got friends on he road so I'll warn them to be extra vigilant

[sophie_e_down]

Not shocked that we've been burgled, it happens all the time, but shocked by the audacity of it on such a busy road, in broad daylight where they literally smashed through the front doors, they were hanging off afterwards - external one and two front doors to internal flats, and that nobody saw or heard anything. Our internal front door was snapped in two.

Also shocked because there was no way of them seeing in our flat, or seeing in the upstairs flat, so it's a massive gamble on their part to smash open our doors, when we could have been inside.

In a way I'd rather a window had been broken into or our locks picked, but it was such a brazen way of entering our property.

[No name]

Can I ask if all those people who have been burgled had a burglar alarm? I know they're not always popular but just wondered if they're working as a deterent in the area.

[Nigello]

I'd advise getting at least two dead-locks fitted. I know one might seem enough, but a burglar might well think twice about trying to get entry upon seeing two heavy locks and a normal Yale lock. Make it as hard for them as possible: close the gate, put plants on the windowsill, install lights and make sure all your heavy locks are locked. It might sound trite, but the compound effect could work.

Upland / Friern Door attempted kick-in . Couple of days ago. The scummiest people ever are out again.

[edanna]

Did they take a bright yellow suitcase? Sorry this seems such a weird question. PM me if they did.
