At present roads off Forest Hill, Peckham Rye have seen a rise in thefts of scooters/mopeds with most being taken overnight. If you know anyone who lives in this area or you own one yourself please think about ways of securing your bike and property marking options easily seen online to act as a deterrent. Also for those wishing to spend some money obtain a Tracker.

Over the years I've noticed, come Spring and Summer, it appears to be a "thing" for groups of late teens-early 20 males to steal a moped each and drive around the city for the day/night. From the way they ride them, it's pretty obvious they don't own them. I know a few people who have also just given up travelling by moped due to the repeated number of times they are stolen, rode the hell out of then abandoned, or never turn up, not to mention having petrol stolen all the time. With almost zero visible Police on the streets and no CCTV in the area, it's sadly a paradise for thieves and burglars around here.

I saw 2 mopeds with 2 sets of youths as said last night come down Lordship Lane then turn left up Ashbourne Road at about 11.35pm. They match the earlier description.


I am a m'bike owner with a bike chained up and I'm always aware of little numpties looking suspicious at that time of night!

I had my scooter stolen last weekend from the underground parking in Solomons Passage in SE15. Somehow thieves managed to get through the electric gate, which is operated by the key fobs. There are quite a few CCTV cameras so there should be some useful footage for the police. Just in case if anyone has seen it it's midnight blue Piaggio Vespa GTS 250cc reg OU08 DJK. Thanks

We have bought locks with alarms which hopefully will wake us up if an attempted theft occurs in the evening - accompanied by 2 massive bike locks - I resent having to do all of this as we have all worked to pay for (and insure) these bikes. I am so sorry for anyone that has had their bike stolen it is so upsetting and then ones insurance gets so high it seems impossible to justify owning a motorbike in London.


Hopefully the raid as above will help a bit.


Sad times

This was discussed in detail at the East Dulwich Ward meeting Wednesday night Barry Road Church. East Dulwich Councillors to lead on private anchor points in front gardens ( please contact your councillors for these Asaph they're available I believe for free!) and also more street concentrated anchor points like the one where Lordship Lane and Northcross meet at the Pub

Sorry to hear about bikes being stolen. In 4 years I have had two bikes stolen, one attempted theft and a front wheel stolen.


So I now park on driveway with ground anchor and D-Lock through front wheel and CCTV that covers the area


I use Almax ground anchor and chain

It has been almost one year since last theft and can only assume its because of the ground anchor/cctv


I am lucky that I can park using ground anchor otherwise I would look into tracker/alarm


If its not bolted down two guys can pick up scooter and load into a van in about 30 seconds and then work on any locks you have.

    • Wow, well served with local supermarkets then…  Agree with ATM.. good c position to been mugged or cloned card - prob why not been considered before. Wasn’t there one outside post office and still  is2where people were abit nervous of using? Hope I am wrong but won’t see me rushing to use it…sure lots of folk will benefit thou. Not a great fan or user of Iceland but when it closed years ago people complained..  Guess they only b look at bigger sites - can’t recall an express one but a pity to those who frequent the store. Strange that Tesco can use it as local but Iceland can’t - guess it is  power of large supermarkets. Personally would have  loved an Aldi or Lidl but  clearly site to small. Only grocery stores left to come are Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl… 
    • I'm paying £31 pcm for full fibre 300, whatever that is. I'm not sure it's a particularly good deal now, but I did a comparison at the time I went onto it, and it was then. I don't have a landline any more, and my mobile is with iD, who piggyback off 3. I don't usually have any problems,  except once a few years back when the whole 3  network (?) went  down for quite a long time.
    • I have Plusnet too.   I recently (August) had some problems with WiFi connection on different days but and the turning off and turning on didn’t work.  The WiFi didn’t work for quite a few hours - overnight in one case but eventually rectified itself.   Would be interested to know how much other people pay for Plusnet. I also have a landline with them as the mobile signal is bad inside house.  That is with EE and I want to change from them to another provider.
    • That's terrible 🤬 Was it the same company both times?
