Criminal damage to cars

[BeeGee]

For the third time in 18 months, we have had our car vandalised.

We live near the junction of Melbourne Grove and Lordship Lane and at some point last night our car was badly keyed. The same happened (twice) to our last car in almost exactly the same place. Each time it has cost us hundreds of pounds to repair.

We've reported each incident to the police but without any forensics or CCTV, there is not much they can do. Judging by the type of scratches I'm sure the culprit is the same person, so if anyone saw anything suspicious near Mr Liu's / Motortech garage last night (Tuesday 7th) then please get in touch.

I'd be keen to know if anyone else living in the area has suffered from the same, because these types of crimes are hard to prevent and are often linked to the same prolific offender.

As our area overall is safe it makes random selfish crimes like this all the more upsetting.

Not strictly ED but fairly close to you, I've noticed that a few cars have been keyed in the side roads off Red Post Hill by North Dulwich station over the past month or so. Always large scrawls across the side panels.

My partners car was keyed also in Tell Grove with a few other cars end of last year.

It has happened to two of my cars. Near Forest Hill Rd. Car envy I suspect. Is it a nice car? Have you peeved anyone?

Sorry to hear that, BeeGee.

No matter how much it happens to everyone else, it's still a miserable thing for you to wake up to.

[Annasfield]

Really sorry to hear that. It's so horrible when it happens

Slashed tyres on a few car (including mine) on Upland Road this week. Reported to 101, sympathies to others affected and encourage you to do the same...
