Nothing helpful or distinctive as a description I'm afraid. It's frustrating, but I'm sure it was just an opportunistic moment rather than a master criminal in action.

Thanks Cathy, nearer the church end, I guess - but we are pretty central. It happened around 6.30pm. It is worth noting that my friend went to the corner shop for assistance afterwards and said that the staff there were fantastic. Called the police and looked after him. Tom

Hi everyone, I'm really sorry to say that a houseguest of ours was mugged at knifepoint outside our flat last night. The attacker made off with his laptop, bag and phon beut luckily our friend was unharmed - just shaken a lot. If anyone sees a beige, checked satchel ('almost' burberry) in the area, please let me know - the laptop will be long gone, but there were some expensive academic books that he would be delighted to get back. It's possible they were dumped somewhere close by. Sorry to report, any help appreciated, all the best tom

Hi everyone, as a fellow SE15 resident and bus owner I'm really saddened to hear about these thefts. I am a member of the London & Thames Valley owners club so will put a shout out there and hope that something turns up. In the meantime I will be following your advice and purchasing a wheel lock asap...
