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.

Carbt imagine how you must be feeling right now.

    • Miranda Sawyer of the (once) Observer has done a piece on festival on Insta which might be of-interest.  Councils are private companies, imo. They make money for themselves, imo.  I do not think by law that they have to follow anything brought up by a consultation, this is for 'face' only - hence, LTNs and everything else.  
    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.
