Sicilia Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Just to make people aware two guys on a black moped tried to mug me on my way home from work at 6pm. Asked for time and quickly tried to steal my phone and bag. Received a punch when I threw my phone over a local fence and consider myself very lucky it wasn't worse. Please keep an eye out if walking around this evening as police say they may target others- it's a stolen moped.

rosythebadger Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I think I nearly got run over by these guys in forest hill (just outside the station) around 6.10 - they went roaring through a red light up Dartmouth road.Hope you're not too shaken up.

Sicilia Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 I'm sorry to hear and glad you are ok. Police said they would be patrolling the area, I guess they are very unlikely to catch them though. Have learned my lesson about walking along with head stuck in emails.

Mrs TP Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Oh big brave men - no sorry a***holes. Hope you did give them a good thump and you not too shaken up.

Sicilia Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Unfortunately he thumped me when I threw my phone over the fence. Silly really should have just handed it over but you don't always think sensibly in the heat of the moment.

Jeremy Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Hope you're OK Sicilia.Throwing the phone over the fence was an interesting tactic... could have turned at badly for you. But personally I'd rather take a punch and not give them the satisfaction of stealing from me, so I personally applaud you (even if I wouldn't recommend your strategy to others!)

Laur Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 You never know how you will react under the circumstances so I'm glad to hear that you are ok Sicilia, This happened just last monthhttp://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1497547,1497563#msg-1497563 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/56513-mugging-woodwarde-road/#findComment-837551 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeckhamRose Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 shelley2012 I am hoping that if you thought the moped was driving dangerously and was black with two black guys on it you could take the registration number or as much as poss and call police.

peckham_ryu Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I Hope the thump wasn't too bad, Sicilia. Nice tactic on the phone throwing, and bear in mind if they were savage enough to throw a punch, they might very well have done that regardless of whether you complied with handing over possessions. It wouldn't be surprising if they already decided on that when they 'interviewed' you (I.e.asked the time). Violent criminals do not follow anything like the rules that we do, they don't have a sense of fairness. It's nice to know you confounded them.

Pugwash Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 You do not know how you would react in the same situation. When I was mugged getting into my car at Sainsburys DKH some years ago I ran after the guy who jumped into his car and punched him in the face and hung on to the steering wheel trying to force him to stop. Police asked me why as an 'elderly person' I did this - I said I did it as I was so angry that he had dared to take my bags.

Repressed angeris something to see when it comes out in the British.

It's something you see pretty much every day in South London. Why are you assuming they were black?

uncleglen Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 In some circles there is an unspoken assumption that if there is a full description of perps that they are white because it says so, but if the colour and description are missing then the perps are not white Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/56513-mugging-woodwarde-road/#findComment-837664 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs TP Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Sicilia - sorry to hear it was you that got the punch :( Still do like the tactic of chucking your phone over the wall. As someone said above, crims don't play by the rules, so may have hit anyway - buggers. Hope you ok.

FitnFearless Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 @Sicilia, sorry to hear you went through this. Good thinking (or reaction) throwing your phone over the wall. There's nothing much they could do at that point and time is not their ally so it would have been very risky for them to escalate the situation further.I hope you're OK.

Dunstans_Jools Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I saw two kids with their faces covered by hoodies and scarves, driving the wrong way up the pavement in Dulwich Village - kind of near the interchange nr Audi garage. They were clearly driving a stolen moped. I tried to take a photo, but they were too quick! Hope you're okay.
