Yes, phone 999. Considering the cost of a Ferrari even the Met might bother, it would help their statistics to recover it.

That's very poor if the police are unavailable. Would phoning 999 be considered not suitable? What are you supposed to do?

Southwark has now extended the deadline for responses to the consultation by another week to Monday 23 February. Hard to see the point of creating a segregated cycle lane of just 250m on Peckham Rye East when cyclists then have to negotiate traffic on other roads for the rest of their journey. Moving the bus stops further up Peckham Rye West to a narrow part of the road means cyclists are put in more danger - trying to overtake stationary buses puts them in direct conflict with oncoming traffic and is already an accident spot. At the moment they can overtake safely at the lights where there is a bus lane. There are hardly any accidents reported on Peckham Rye East. The danger to cyclists outweighs any benefits, it's worse for all other road users, a waste of money and should be opposed. But great for Southwark Council for raking in fines.

So some personal experience trumps other people’s personal experience. what a waste of time.

Checked on car check U.K. and there is a stolen report on it however nooone from 101 is answering, Met live chat is down and no one answering emails. It’s parked outside 513A lordship lane, next to Westminster carpets if someone can get through to the police. I’ll keep trying.

Because you wouldn't like the answer?

The question wasn't addressed to me, but I certainly use both sides, depending upon where I am going and what the hold up is on either side - there have been terrible road works for nearly a year off and on. By cutting off one side there is every chance of dreadful disruption - as is normal when any roads are blocked,always exacerbated when alternatives become blocked as well. It is clear that the concept of free flow of traffic has been abandoned by certain groups - regardless of the needs of people, and the economy, for this. Southwark (and other boroughs) are becoming increasingly broken and intentionally.

I was told they'd normally wait 24 hours to check a tracker wasn't installed. For a valuable car. Unless the car was taken from someone not yet aware (away on holiday or business) I'd have thought if there was a tracker it would have been found by now. But if they knew their victim was away they might wait longer. What they don't want is the eventual destination garage to be located with a tracker.

@Rockets I'm well aware of your position - Southwark is corrupt/incompetent, the active travel 'lobby' in particular those pesky cyclists have too much influence and too much road infrastructure is devoted to them, and that measures to reduce traffic don't work. i don't agree, but that is nature of debate. Over to you, as a person who once cycled a lot, do you think that there should be no more cycle lanes, quiet ways and the like? Would you like to see their removal and opening up of roads/junctions where motorised traffic is prohibited? Are there any recent schemes that you support? I rarely use the East side of the Rye so not really in a position to comment on the specifics and the impacts. Are you are regular user? Good to hear your response to those four questions.

Making cynical comments doesn't help. I've given my views and personal experience many times. I'm not sure why you don't take this on board. But anyway here we go again. I've commuted by bike mainly in central London and now more local for donkeys years. In the morning and afternoon there is congestion. As there was when I was a child when I visited family in London. Occasionally I had to drive for work, and it would be awful, going out to the M4, M40 and M1, or down to Sussex. This is where you find out where the Sun in Sands (former pub in Blackheath), World of Leather roundabout and the like are which the often refer to on the radio traffic news. Wandsworth Bridge. etc etc etc. I occasionally got the 185 into work, if I was on this by, say 7,30 it could be fairly clear going into Camberwell. Closer to school opening if the traffic was stopped before Sacred Heart school it could then take for ever to get onto the bus lane. School hols and suddenly the roads became much quieter. So in all this time: Court Lane in the morning would grid lock at the junction. Traffic from Carlton Ave, which did not have the priority, would drive across blocking the junction. Dulwich village would have bad congestion, I have no idea if it is better or worse now. My experience of Lordship Lane is cycling down from the Harvester to Court Lane, or bus through to Goose Green. It was usually busy in commuting times. I expect it is still but no idea if better or worse. Underhill feels no different in the morning. I know when there were roadworks more traffic came through from the South Circ. I expect that this is less now. I often wonder where it comes from and where it is going. You can get a nice run, cycling on Underhill, but sometimes a bus, or particularly heavy traffic on Barry Road, can mean traffic backs up. Dunno about Croxted Road, rarely use it. I'll cycle up College Road and the like to come out by Gipsy Hill if I am going that way. Kingsdale/Dulwich Prep can be a pain due to parents parking irresponsibly, and there is a lot of activity on Saturdays there too. Peckham Rye was generally always congested, and could be made worse by cars running the lights at the junction with East Dulwich Road. This is my observations, I don't sit there and count the traffic. This is a very dull post, I've told you much of this before, but you did ask and comments like "probably a question that will be desperately ducked, dodged and avoided at all costs" are unhelpful in what should be an adult discussion. I've got more questions for you on another thread.

Apparently stolen cars are dumped for a few days in case they have a tracker. They wait to see if the car is found - if not then they will take. Worth seeing if reported stolen
