I live on oakhurst Grove and was broken into 12 months ago. I live in fear it will happen again. Mind you I've no jewellery left to take. They caught him, was after drug money. Was his 18th conviction for breaking and entering. Horrible.

ED needs something, I like it here but there is not enough going on - cinema be good!

We had our van keyed on Oakhurst Grove, hate people that do that. We were also broken in to. Shame.

Cool, hoping it is a nicer pub now, great spot near the station!

East Dulwich is cool, in terms of sport I go to a run club, intervals and some fun with the girls that take part, Mondays at 715 on Peckham Rye Park. Not sure about boxing and stuff but be interesting to hear if you find anything.

I feel for you, I was broken in to in January and cannot replace the sentimental items that were taken. OR the photso on the camera. It made me feel so uncomfortable in my own home. There are a lot of low lifes about in this area and I have to say, I cannot wait to move out of London in general as wherever you go, there seem to be a high ratio of idiots about. They caught the man that broke in to mine, his 18th conviction - he wanted to go back to prison, life is better in there for him - that is what I was told. Way I look at it, if you steal, cut your hand off. Simple. May deter some of the idiots out there that steal as they are too lazy to work and save and buy things like the rest of us. Plenty of DSS benefits people out there that could work. Makes me mad. Sorry, rant over!

Maybe look a little bit away from the Market, as ED is so nice it would be a shame to be disturbed. And I think prices go down a bit. I love the Market, I love the area, I eat on the market every week and it tastes lush! It adds something to the area, and I like to support it and the shops on the high street. If you dont buy, it wont last and people are just making a living doing something they enjoy - more of us should try that!!! I posted a post when I moved here about places to go, asking for advice - see if you can find, it as it was a nice string of posts unlike some of this one :) Welcome to ED.

My boyfriend and I are thinking of taking a 3 week trip to Central America at the end of the year. Can anyone recommend places to go, places to stay, places to avoid? We will be back packing, we like to experience culture, eat local food, meet local people...I love the beach so we would like a chilled out place to stay on the beach too... Thoughts welcome!

The police think he is lying, he may had sold that day and got on the drugs. I am Oakhurst Grove area. Very sad state of affairs - thanks for all your messages.

Stay in, in the warm, or dress up and go out and enjoy it!

I was broken in to last week, They caught the guy that broke in, he was fresh out of prison, wanted to go back in, left his prints and waited to get picked up - said he hid my stuff in a bush and went back to get it and it was gone - if anyone hears of anything like this, let me know, I would love my jewellery back :( He took watches, a camera with extra zoom lense, my granddads tie pin, my gold bracelet and cash :(

Thanks for your lovely messages, I am feeling OK thanks. I don't have much of value, I now have nothing and I will miss my jewellery as it was sentimental to me. Let's keep our eyes open and hope we can stop some of our neighbours going through the same.

I had my front door pushed in and my jewellery cash camera etc taken. It seems to be a common theme - we need as neighbours to look out for each other. There is obviously a lot of scum about in this area which is a shame. I feel so violated, I am living on my own in a ground floor flat on a road I thought was alright, until my neighbour showed me photos of her face having been attached on Oakhurst Grove, and now this, I feel so unsafe. The police did not even hang around to see if I was OK when I got in, if they had I could have shown them other places to fingerprint, could have told them they bastards had taken a side access key. Let's be aware that this is taking place in broad daylight and try and stop it happening. I dont want others to go through this, make sure you have contents insurance, I dont unfortunately.
