According to the police officer who knocked at my door to ask if I'd seen anything?


Between midnight and 6am. Residents upstairs sleeping. In through unlocked back gate/patio doors. Silent. Pros, most probably.


When I asked about abbotswood rd she said there'd been break ins but didn't give me details.


Rather worried now. Between break-ins and two muggings (one at shaw rd junction and one in the wee park) its not feeling nearly as safe down here as it once did. :(

Hi .

Well the break;ins were in the early hours of the morning , because of the warm weather people seem to leave doors open, on this occasion the thief a black-man was helping his self when the owner found him in her living room in the early hours, so beware this guy seems to have located him self in the east Dulwich area , and our street abbotswood road.

Thank you all. Not break-ins so much as walk-ins -- unlocked back-garden gate, unlocked patio doors. OK. Leaving off-street access unsecured is a behaviour that I can choose not to adopt.


(It's about making one's place slightly harder to crack than are one's neighbours'.)


We've had an idyll here for the ten years plus that I've been around. We can get back to that again, I trust and hope.

Some information .

my daughter has told me that where she lives , there has been break-ins , opposite the railway embankment east dulwich .

they seem to remove the bathroom vent from the out side and open the window from the inside , so beware lock your windows remove the keys .

dead lock your locks on your front doors - and yale locks .

as far as i know its not just abbotswood now its the whole area.

take care all.

I live on oakhurst and I think I heard someone trying to get in last night. Since having a baby I am an insanely light sleeper and something made me store but as I was falling back to sleep it sounded like someone was trying to jimmy a window or shake the front door so I shOt up and checked the baby's room and then turned all the lights on and checked the windows and everything seemed fine but the hairs on the back of my neck were up and my instinct told me it wasn't just in my head!


We were burgled last August so the house is always securely locked!
