I've just seen 2 men park an old black Mercedes Benz 500 on Cyrena road between Pellatt road and Rodwell road. (2.30am 20.08) After a few minutes sat there they split up in different directions, giving all the suspicious warnings, and disappeared for 5 minutes or so. When they returned to the car they tried 2 car doors that I saw on Cyrena road. Possibly looking for unlocked cars or obvious valuables. Sadly couldn't see the number plate but thought worth sharing incase anyone else has seen anything.

Description of the men:

1. White middle aged male, very obese and short hair wearing a red zip up hoodie.

2. White mid aged male, skinny wearing a dark hoodie and black cap.

Weirdly the other Sunday morning I got in my car to find the contents of the glove box all over the passenger seat including the car?s removable sat nav/ media player. Guessed someone must have just tried the door and not found anything of particular value but did find it odd they didn?t take the sat nav


This was on Honor Oak Road

Couple of times someone has taken parking change and a satnav from our car when we've left it unlocked.


They probably have a night-time round, trying car doors in an area every few weeks/months, then moving on.Very low risk crime, since even in the unlikely event they got caught the police would probably do nothing.


But then again unless you happen to leave something valuable in the car it's not a high-impact crime, just annoying. They don't appear to be interested in nicking the actual car.

Same thing happened to me, but they left every thing including a credit card, PDA, camera, drills and a full toolkit. No sign of forced entry so I must have left it unlocked.

Let off lightly.

Sorry to be really dim, but why would you leave your car unlocked?

    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.
