this afternoon


Well done, afantastc excample of getting in early. I really hope you need the stuff more than others, although judging by the car you drive, It would appear not. Those handbags are hardly one of lifes essentials are they ?


Still, who am I to make judgements based on appearance and class.

You see, what a low life. Taking away from people who are unfortunate and mentally I'll. my father in law is a director of the mind charity and I have told him about what goes on there. I think we will need to report this to the filth because it is one of the lowest forms of theft, from a charity not exactly a robin hood are they.

Agree it's bad that anyone would stoop to stealing from a charity shop - but don't most have signs outside begging people not to leave their donations outside for precisely that reason?


If people wants to ensure their donations make it to the people who need them rather than getting stolen, then waiting till the shop is open to drop them off is a good idea.

Peckham Rose - I agree that it's very low when people rifle through the charity bags and take stuff but my point is that it wouldn't happen if people didn't dump their litter there in the first place.


They are not technically stealing as it's just a load of bags on a pavement.....the shops always ask people not to leave bags out of hours as by the time they open it's either ruined by rain or all the good stuff has been taken and they have to deal with the litter.


Why can't the people return when the shop is open and give their bags to the staff instead of leaving a load of litter for them to deal with!

Not sure but if I leave a bag of stuff on a public pavement I don't think the police would arrest a person who then took it away again and charge them with theft!


Either way - it's abhorrent the person who takes from outside the shop and I agree they are taking from a charity shop but I also think the person who left it there in the first place is equally in the wrong...

but who are they stealing from?


if the shop says that it doesn't want stuff left on the street surely it isn't theirs and if the person leaving it doesn't want it they don't want it to be theirs, so it's effectively abandoned or flytipped by the leaver


if i come and leave my junk outside your house it doesn't make it yours


for the record, i don't think that either leaver or taker have behaved well but i don't think that the police should waste much time on this sort of stuff

But asking them might have removed the chance to make a nice judgemental post on the forum about their behaviour ;-)


I'm with pk though, with limited resources this really doesn't seem like the kind of thing the police should be investing lots of time in solving.

I think it's a bit harsh to label anyone having a rumage thru charity donations as low life and in effect scum. There are those also out there in need - just coz they may seem outfitted in "socially acceptable" get ups doesn't mean to say they're not wanting for anything. Now I'm not saying I condone the behaviour of rumaging through bags left on pavements for charity as that is just wrong but I will say something against the unecessary branding of ppl others deem as low life - books and covers my dears!

I live opposite this charity shop and there are always bags of stuff left out on the street. People come along and just empty them out onto the pavement and have a rummage through to see if they can find anything they want.

Stupid people for dumping stuff outside a closed shop, and stupid people who think it is morally acceptable to take stuff beacuse it's 'available'. I can't be bothered to argue who is worse.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
