Tyre Slashing on Crystal Palace Road

[karimdiatoubajie]

Hi there East Dulwichonians,

Has anyone had any problems with tyre slashing in ED? A few of us on Crystal Palace Road (Lordship Lane end) have had our tyres stabbed over the past week. Anyone in the area might want to be vigilant against such activity.

Kind regards,

Karim

This awful. I park there to go to use the gym. Will defo be more aware.

Sorry I thought this was an invitation?

I had my bayonette ready!>:D<

There has been a thread about the same happening in other streets in the area. Don't know how to be vigilant about it though. I'm guessing it was done overnight. Is that the case?

[KidKruger]

I wonder if it's people trying to protect 'their' parking spaces - attempting to put you off parking their by trashing your tyres.

Huh... I used to live on CPR. One of my first experiences was getting grief from my neighbour for parking in "her" space! Unbelievable!

[KidKruger]

Yes it's a bit belligerent when you get that kind of attitude.

One of my tyres was slashed overnight...same area of CPR...

[KidKruger]

If it IS people trying to ensure cars don't park where THEY want to park THEIR cars, the conclusion could be that the perpetrators are very near. Shocking behaviour, because it implies that someone would rather damage your property than walk a few yards to their car.

If it's the SAME area being victimised, perhaps someone could put up a cam looking down at the area and encourage everyone to park there in the hope of capturing the baddie on film. It may mean sacrificing more tyres though..

Not isolated to Crystal Palace Road, I've had 3 tyres slashed in 18 months on Dunstans Road, and both my neighbors have have had it happen too.

Regular tyre damage might raise suspicions against those who benefit from new tyre sales or repairs in the area?

Does anyone know if there is a pattern to the make and model of car or the type, make or size of tyres or the geographical locations of such incidents?

I live at the top of Crystal Palace Road and it happened to me a few days ago

[loobylou]

Maybe we should report to the neighbourhood crime team? can someone give me a number please? Thanks

[Sue]

Is this it?

Came from the "local info" page on this forum.

Safer Neighbourhood Team

phone 020 8721 2447

ETA: Email address is given as Eastdulwich.snt@met.police.uk

But I have no idea if any of this info is up to date.

[loobylou]

Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure it isn't about parking spaces...there is only one person around this area who "protects" his space by putting his bins out but nobody challenges it as there are usually other places to park, so I don't understand it at all. But/and it is annoying and expensive!

Thanks Sue, sarcasm noted.

Eh? I wasnt being sarcastic.

I never knew that bit of the forum was there until quite recently when someone mentioned it. Probably hardly anybody else does either.

My post was written trying to be helpful

Why did you think it was sarcasm?

ETA: You asked for a number. I gave you one in good faith. Maybe a thank you would have been more in order than a nasty remark??

ETA: And maybe an apology?

ETA: For anyone else who doesn't know, you go to the Home page of this forum and on the top right hand side, next to the Forum tab, there's a greyed-out tab saying Local Info, which if you click on it brings up - Local Info
