Hi all


Just to warn you, last night i parked my car in worlingham road (top end near crawthew grove) and someone broke into my car and took my ipod (it was hidden). someone else had all their tyres let down.


Just thought you should all know so that you can stay safe.

Not being funny, but how are we supposed to prevent someone letting all our tyres down, unless we have somewhere to park the car other than the street????


:-S

Try letting the air out of the tyres before you go to bed (don't forget to remove ALL valuables from the vehicle as well!).


When you wish to use the vehicle again, simply re-inflate the tyres to a safe and legal pressure (this may vary according to vehicle / tyre combination; see manufacturers instructions for full details) and drive away.


Happy motoring - toot toot!

Not being funny but i only put this thread up to encourage people to take extra vigilance when leaving / not leaving stuff in their cars. the comment re the tyres is neither helpful nor constructive. My car is an old jalopy, not worth breaking into, but broken into all the same. they took something of mine which has pictures of my young daughter on it. I don't know who has them now. And that as a mum is upsetting. You want to make fun of something, go find someone else.

I think the entire forum community are biting their tongues here wanting to tell you what a dummyhead you are for HIDING your VALUABLES in a JALOPY.


However, none of us want to see someones treasured possessions in the hands of Grimbleys, so empathy has won the day.


Put it down to a hard lesson learned nancysmum

nancysmum, Same happened to our MPV a couple of months ago up near the Library. Nothing to nick in the car (all compartments emptied out onto seats and floor) and locks had somehow been opened without breaking in. Quite a thoughtful thief I thought at the time.


Trouble is we've had a spate of car break-ins in the last couple of weeks where side windows have been smashed. Not much you can do except the obvious which will hopefully deter future thefts if gains are negligible.

sorry to hear about your incident. in a way i was pleased there was something to nick in mine, in case they decided to trash the car if there wasn't. After all, who's to say they wouldn't do that - cut seats, smash windows etc. I'm sad I've lost my i-pod, but at least I can still take the children out.

    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
