Last two weeks I've seen a few blokes late at night 11pm - 02:00am hanging around there and blokes sitting in cars waiting around. Maybe I'm being too OTT, thinking this is dodgy. But I hear about theifs scooping out properties before they attack them. Just a heads up for folks living nearby there.

Hopefully they won't scoop out so much that there's nothing left to half inch.


1) Description of the culprits plz. Number of/ethicity/clothing/make

and model of car/blood type.


2) Have you told the local rozzers?

Wow. What are the chances of that?! Local Internet Forum literally foils burglars.

Amazing effort, all of you. Looks like my cynicsm was completely misplaced.


Well done to all involved. Gold stars all round.


I reckon the South London Press would love this story.

Yes, earlier in the evening I read Easties post to sensibleman, it made him think & he recalled noticing a couple of men hanging around on Glengarry this past week late at night (he often comes home from work between 11-12pm). There's nothing going on round here so reason to be hanging round if you see what I mean. So when we heard an odd thumping noise from the street outside we were extra aware of the possibility of something untoward happening. SM was out the door - like a rat up a drainpipe, while I stood on the sofa in our front window craning my neck to see whatever I could. What a right pair we must have looked, luckily it paid off in this instance.

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.     
    • Some of us oldies would associate Grove with the old Grove Vale School (which I went to in the 1950s)
