If you like me to rationalise my post:


1. The worst part of your report was the physical attack on the family in front of the child. This doesn't seem to be as important to you as the theft of a dog. This is, to me, just plain weird - placing concerns about an animal above concerns about people.


2. The police have been properly informed - and have resources to track down cars and licence plates.


3. The likelihood of the dog being found in ED is vanishingly small - so the post is a waste of time.


4. I am not sentimental about animals - and your post came up just when I had castigated posters for being ungenerous about the death of Steve Jobs, only to find an appeal for a lost dog. The contrast got to me.


Nevertheless, I stand by my comment - John 11:35

Lilly123,


I do hope that the owners find Marnie- very distressing to have a dog taken from you like that. Of course, it takes a dog owner or someone with a modicum of empathy to understand just how upsetting this experience would be and how one would be worrying about what had happened to the dog. Perhaps other posters simply cannot make that leap of imagination.


I don't see how worrying about a pet that has been taken from you under violent circumstances is in the least way sentimental- odd reaction.


Fingers crossed for Marnie.

i think this is a great idea and as for Marmora Man Yesterday, 10:56PM all things start somewhere, who knows when this will happen dulwich. and then the Marmora Man. Today, 07:49AM backed tracked and said this. why did he not say this in his first post only he knows. he puts a foot note and i quote

Should we, in Dulwich, be concerned about a stolen dog in Canterbury?. bet he reads the newepapers and reads about the world news or maybe he lives in his little world in dulwich and no crime happens at all its sad

Why do you appear to have a problem with this? It's a simple plea to ask people to keep their eyes peeled for a lost dog- taken under very unpleasant circumstances. The dog was part of a family, the owners are upset. They would like to get their dog back, safe and sound.


It doesn't seem to be of interest or matter to you. Point taken- quite possibly you don't care. Can we move on now and get of the original poster's case.

Marmora Man, i posted on here what the owners wished to be posted, if the family do not want to reveal more information about their child that is their prerogative, as for the police being able to trace the vehicle, may be it was have you thought FALSE number plates???, as for the likelihood of marnie (the dog) being found in east dulwich, do people of east dulwich not purchase animals from outside of east dulwich????, it does not matter if the chance is relatively small in this matter of finding marnie in east dulwich, it is the thought that you never know what area it may be someone may know something or be able to help, when things may it be people/ animals or other things go missing or get stolen it does not necessarily mean that because they was stolen/missing from that area that they/it should be found in that area does it??

> Does Marnie have any distinguishing features that could help to differentiate it from all the other hundreds of Yorkies in South East London?


Yes, a microchip that will tell any vet it's taken to that it's on the stolen list. See the OP on the Facebook page. The theft itself took place in June, and I doubt that any of the details of it are now of much effective use in recovering the dog. I'd have thought that a one-post thread, with a link to eg this lostdog page, and a few descriptive words about a possible recent Orpington link, would have sufficed.

yes marnie does have distinguishing marks, and no it is not my dog, i do know the owners,marnie was advertised on the net for sale ( in orpington) recently, Presumingly by who ever took her , we have a discripition of the person who she was sold to,but just need to locate this person,as to which this person could of came from any area, yes or no? marmora man if you have a problem with this post i would rather you keep your comments to yourself if it bothers you.
If its not happening on Marmora Rd, then it don't count! Dogs are very quickly passed on and can end up miles away, God forbid if this were one of mine, I would do anything to get them back, if you don't like the thread, then quietly walk away and let these people get on with trying to find there much loved companion!

> marnie was advertised on the net for sale ( in orpington)


In that case the police should be given a statement and any other available evidence to confirm the fact, so that they can pursue the seller's details.

[Edit:] ...and the buyer's.


>we have a discripition of the person who she was sold to


How did you manage to get that?

So the police have a description, an internet advert and, presumably, a track on who by and where the internet ad was posted. It seems to me the police are in the best place to solve this dastardly crime. Highlighting a 5 month old theft on EDF is highly unlikely to move the case forward one iota.


All this thread serves to do is illustrate just how foolish, sentimental and mathematically challenged some posters are. The likelihood of the pooch thief being apprehended in ED is much the same as the likelihood of me winning tonight's Euro LOttery (and I didn't even buy a ticket)

Oooh your a lovely man Marmora Man, why is this bothering you so much? Haven't you got enough to do watching people cut through your road? Quick you might miss one! When a dog is stolen, one of the best ways to get it back, is by making it hot "property" so to speak, the more people that know about it, the more likely the owners will get her back because she will be to hot to handle. You can call me foolish and sentimental because I love dogs, I really don't care, I'd rather be me than you :)) and someone will will the Euro lottery! Lucky them!
red evil i dont think that is at all funny,obviousley you do? i hope you and marmora man come back as a animal in your next life, it is sad a animal can not speak for them self, and i guess you both think this is a joke, animals have feelings, unlike some humans, and i just pray that one day that either of you do not need the help of the public, because you will certainly not get my help, yes i do have a dog not marnie and she saved my daughter life when she was fitting, still i guess you will find this funny as well.You both need to get a life and as i say i just hope that one day you both do need help and there is no one to assist either of you. KARMAAAAA.

    • Does anyone know when the next SNT meeting is? I am fed up with my son being mugged on East Dulwich Grove! 
    • The issue must be everywhere at the moment. I was visiting a friend last week in Bermondsey, think we were walking  down Linton Rd & we dodged 7 dog poos. It was disgusting. 
    • Thanks for your message — I actually took the time to look into what CityHive does before posting my original comment, and I’d encourage anyone with questions to do the same. Yes, the Companies House filings are overdue — but from what I’ve gathered, this seems likely to be an accountant or admin issue, not some sign of ill intent. A lot of small, community-based organisations face challenges keeping up with formalities, especially when they’re focused on immediate needs like food distribution. Let’s not forget CityHive is a not-for-profit, volunteer-powered CIC — not a corporate machine. As for the directors, people stepping down or being replaced is often about capacity or commitment — which is completely normal in the voluntary and community sector. New directors are sometimes appointed when others can no longer give the time. It doesn’t automatically mean bad governance — it just means people’s circumstances change. CityHive’s actual work speaks volumes. They buy most of the food they distribute — fresh produce, essential groceries, and shelf-stable items — and then deliver it to food banks, soup kitchens, and community projects across London. The food doesn’t stay with CityHive — it goes out to local food hubs, and from there, directly to people who need it most. And while yes, there may be a few paid staff handling logistics or admin, there’s a huge volunteer effort behind the scenes that often goes unseen. Regular people giving their time to drive vans, sort donations, load pallets, pack food parcels — that’s what keeps things running. And when people don’t volunteer? Those same tasks still need to be done — which means they have to be paid for. Otherwise, the whole thing grinds to a halt. As the need grows, organisations like CityHive will inevitably need more support — both in people and funding. But the bigger issue here isn’t one small CIC trying to make ends meet. The real issue is the society we live in — and a government that isn’t playing its part in eradicating poverty. If it were, organisations like CityHive, The Felix Project, City Harvest, FareShare, and the Trussell Trust wouldn’t need to exist, let alone be thriving. They thrive because the need is growing. That’s not a reflection on them — it’s a reflection on a broken system that allows people to go hungry in one of the richest cities in the world. If you're in doubt about what they’re doing, go check their Instagram: @cityhivemedia. You’ll see the real organisations and people receiving food, sharing thanks, and showing how far the impact reaches. Even Southwark Foodbank has received food from CityHive — that alone should speak volumes. So again — how does any of this harm you personally? Why spend time trying to discredit a group trying to support those who are falling through the cracks? We need more people lifting others up — not adding weight to those already carrying the load.
    • Well, this is very disappointing. Malabar Feast  has changed its menu again. The delicious fish curry with sea bass no longer exists. There is now a fish dish with raw mango, which doesn't appeal. I had dal and spinach instead, which was bland (which I suppose I could/should have predicted). One of my visitors had a "vegetable Biriani" which contained hardly any vegetables. Along with it came two extremely tiny pieces of poppadom in a large paper bag.   This was embarrassing, as I had been singing Malabar's praises and recommending we ordered from there. The other mains and the parathas were OK, but I doubt we will be ordering from there again. My granddaughters wisely opted for Yard Sale pizzas, which were fine. Has anybody else had a similar recent poor (or indeed good!)  experience at Malabar Feast?
