Break Ins in ED


Recommended Posts

Any description is helpful when it comes to catching and stopping crime (it's like a jigsaw). It's similar to the "fat short" bogus window cleaner thread which alerted people to crime being committed BUT strangly enough did not cause any outrage on behalf of any legitimate window cleaner who fits that appearance (who are now pretty much unemployable in SE22)..

Taking "offence" on behalf of others has become a Pastime with some (usually people who do NOT mix freely and regularly with the Guys that they are taking "offence" on behalf of)(!)

dangit. our house burgled today. happened in 15 mins, during my regular child pick up. not my flat but our d/stairs. finger points at me for not dble locking main front door. guys walked out right in front of me as I turned into the front gate. I had little girl with me./ initially i thought they were canvassers for a cab company whose cards i could see in the door. not. I had heard the front door close so, i was 1 foot away from the pair of them. we locked eyes for a split sec. Only when I opened the front door did i see for sure what had happened.theyd kicked in the other flats door. I had the feeling something was up, i also had a 4 yr old right by me. so, stayed cool. got in got phone. 25 mins till police at the door. though they said theyd circled a bit first before arriving.

if someone was casing my movements, they are clockwork.

therapia road. new notch on the crime map.

are you an anthropologist?, do mozambiquians have any unique distinguishing features?, can you try and narrow down the search to a specific tribal village?...;-)

Sorry about the break-in. I spent an interesting few moments trying to think through what physically distinguishes an Afro-Caribbean from a Mozambiquan. Seriously I did. And, from experience I know how hard it is to give an accurate description of someone (which obviously the coppers need to have any hope of catching these fiends) without feeling like you're about to offend someone or show yourself up as some sort of ignorant idiot. These sound like a couple of 'smooth criminals' and I for one will be keeping my eyes peeled.


As an aside, my family came from Mozambique. We have pale complexions, but tan well in summer.....:)

yes little Ed. today Im going to do a facial/country search. Im not so sure. see if it helps. quite clear facial types im hoping.they seemed so at the time. if not, yep speculation. I wish, other than it didnt happen, that i could have said 'yep deffo two white guys from bletchley born and bred.' no offence intended to anyone born and bred in bletchly. No offence to anyone.

just wish id dble locked the front door is all. makes you wonder how many times people have tried it b4 but the door was properly locked.

gone were passports/cameras/some cash/small items of jewellery/interestingly..didnt bother with ipod..

Neighbours dont exactly blame me. just think its my fault. I think ive been watched. they knew the they had 15 minutes.

I know that getting my little girl in the door was best thing. "oi who are you" could well have had me overpowered (I have fighting skills) 2 against one (knife? gun? who knows?) with my arms full of school bags and clothes that i couldnt just drop. I was considerably disadvantaged compared to 2 guys who knew they had to get out quick.


red devil. no, but im a person with a deep love of africa and i dont want to generalise or point fingers and fall into the pit of distrust. Im sure you can imagine what comments ive heard . Also, just let me say, a "london bar" saved our flat. They gave the door a kick but it stayed firm. Our house mates unfortunately not.

When my place got done last month, my door was Chubbed and my neighbour's wasn't. My door was completely smashed off its frame, whereas hers pretty much just swung open! The violence of that was the scariest part about it.


Not sure what the moral of the story is - we both got done, but my repair bill was a shocker, while hers was a locksmith job.


I guess it just shows how determined they were going to get in Chubb or not

    • My family had an appalling experience of Dulwich College and treated my young child in an extremely degrading and cruel manner. I’d like to leave this review as a warning to other parents who apply in good faith. We applied our neurodiverse child to 7+ and provided the documents from his medical team about necessary adjustments. We did this after DC spoke emphatically at multiple open days about their love and support and inclusion of neurodiverse students. Specifically Dr Griffiths saying he likes “spiky profiles”. However we were angry when after providing the documents as to the adjustments my son required DC failed to implement them, and failed to even allow him to complete 7+ assessments. When we asked them about it they were cagey and offensive. This included multiple discriminatory remarks made by Dr Griffiths which implied he was extremely ignorant about any kind of basic understanding of neurodiversity. Multiple members of staff including reception team and governors spoke in an extremely bigoted and offensive way about my child to me. We then filed a SEND4 and Dulwich College governors immediately changed their narrative about what had apparently happened during the 7+ assessment process. The discrimination continued when, by the time the SEND4 trial came round I was extremely unwell and the month before had to have an MRI to rule out possible cancer. We divulged that I was signed off and Dulwich College continued to discriminate against our family by refusing to postpone the hearing despite how unwell I was. This again perfectly exemplifies the dishonesty in all advertising materials from Dulwich College about any kind of integrity in the culture in the leadership team. We had benefit of the doubt at first that we were dealing with one or two nefarious individuals, but unfortunately I can vouch this involved Dr Griffiths and members of the governing body who had ample opportunities to rectify this and not break the Equality Act. In parallel because of this disgusting discrimination and the degrading safeguarding failures against our elder child during 7+ we withdrew our application for our younger child which by that time had been accepted. To this date Dulwich College are still refusing to refund our younger child’s deposit of £2,000 even though we gave more than a term’s notice he wouldn’t be taking the place. In short a wholly disgusting bunch of individuals who you probably don’t want anywhere near your children. Hope this review is useful and saves other families the pain of watching their child be harmed by dishonest and bigoted individuals who have no place in the education system in the 21st century.
    • Hello! Our fridge freezer just died and need a short term replacement while we wait for our new kitchen to be installed please   Thank you in advance. 
    • My flat pack furniture delivery slot was changed to this coming Monday and unfortunately my helper is not able to assist me with bringing 4 boxes (2 x 38kg, 2x 21kg) up one flight of stairs that day. Friends not wfh that day either and don’t think I can do it myself. So I was hoping someone living near Barry Road might be able to help out and come by (likely midday - 5pm, depending on  delivery drop off on the day) and help getting this upstairs in return for a small handling fee. It shouldn’t take more than 10min .  Please DM me if you know someone.
