Petrol Thefts


TJ

Recommended Posts

Not wanting to make this a competition, but when I lived on Dunstans Road I had the fuel cap on my Jaguar forced off three or four times. Each time it cost me ?20 in parts to fix. The killer bit was it had an 83 litre tank...


Sad to say that it was actually a factor in us moving house.

is this still going on? I sold my car last year but i was targeted twice by these thieves. my neighbor told me that he saw them doin it but didnt want to get involved because he was on his own. He said there were 2 of them with trolleys that elderly people use for shopping (they must have had a small tank in there) but it was to dark to get a description. shocking to read about the lack of interest from the police. I reported it as well but didnt hear anything back from them

if there are a group of people around Overhill / Underhill road - all bike users only (fuel theives need not apply or respond), why don't we hire a southwark garage together. They cost around 20 quid a week and should comfortably hold 6-8 bikes. We can share the cost and should get a few benefits like reduced insurance costs and not having to pay for bike parts and fuel all the time - not to mention the sheer inconvenience of having to trek to buy fuel, go get repairs made etc.


If you're interested, please pm me and if there are enough people, I will try and find one that is well located for everyone.


Costs will be a share of the garage costs and the cost of a key.

We are on Belvoir Road, has happened to our scooter about 5 times now; the only thing we can do to help it is secure the cover tightly looping the lock/chain thru the eyelets in the cover and firming it tight up against the bike, makes them work a little harder at least.

Ild be interested in a communal garage option if there are enough of us and the location is right.

Third time it has happened to me, like everyone above feel a bit hopeless about what can be done.

Have reported to the police but did anyway get anywhere with a shared garage?

I live in Pellatt Road.

Mine was done as well. Definitely last night between 8pm and 6am this morning. They got away with about ?1 of petrol as the tank was almost empty! Please report to the police - in the past I have always reported it no matter how small the amount of petrol stolen.

    • Week 11 points...   Week 11 table...   Almost a third of the way through the season and RC is comfortably holding onto his early lead, and also flying the flag for the EDF with 10th place overall, 11 points behind the leaders. 👏 Another international break, back in just over a weeks time...  
    • Never had a problem with the discount being applied with a "club" loyalty card, so Tesco and Sainsburys have been fine, however in Morrisons a reduced price advertised on the item, took a photo just in case, at checkout charged full price even though photo shown as evidence. Some dodgy practices being undertaken. 
    • Hi everyone. My name is Joe and I'm hoping to launch a Coffee Bike business in East Dulwich in the next few weeks. One of the last things I'm really struggling with is securing overnight storage for the bike. It's very heavy to ride and I'm unable to store it at home, so it needs to be somewhere in East Dulwich. I've tried a few businesses to see if they have anything but no luck. Dulwich Storage on Lordship lane are not taking any new bookings at the moment.  If anyone has any ideas or can help I would be really grateful.  Many thanks in advance. Joe
