Sorry to report folks


Between 3.30pm and 4:30pm today 7th August nasty people have smashed through our front sash window .Large TV, SLR Camera Laptop, and some jewellery taken.Even my reading glasses!

I was home just before then went out to register birth of second daughter in Camberwell at 3.45pm and home by 4.30pm

Which is why I can be sure on the time.

Did not notice anyone watching the house.

We had window locks on the sash windows, they forced the window up and then busted it forward taking the frame out on the inside, glass did not break, they could then swing the window in and take what they wanted


To have the audacity to do it in broad daylight, we had builders working opposite making a noise so can only assume they parked a van in front to hide what they were doing , the noise of smashing in the wood window was masked by the builders, I did check with them and they did not see anything


Police came and did what they could, said another house had been done the same way up on Lordship lane, again busy road daylight no shame ....


keep em peeled folks nasty people at work

Really sorry this happened to you. There is a spate of similar burglaries in this area at the moment. A house in Upland Road was broken into in exactly the same way in the same circumstances (levered out a locked sash window mid-afternoon) and that one even had an alarm which did not seem to be a deterrent. Another house in Upland Road had patio doors smashed in and one in Friern had the front door smashed in. It is worth being observant re people in front gardens, even if they look like they are doing work there.

This is terrible.


Bad enough anyway, but how brazen, to do it in broad daylight when the homeowner or their neighbours could come back at any minute, or passers by could think something must be wrong.


I always thought that window locks would be a deterrent at least, but evidently not :(

Shame on whom doing this, sorry hear this thankyou for raising awareness.

This happened couple years ago on glengarry road knocked doors rang bells the one house whom did not answer they crowbar red doors took everything. Broad daylight.

No.one saw or knew anything was actually police door knocking to warn others double lock communal door if conversion flats as easy target if isn't.

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
