Local police gradually build up a 'profile' of where crimes are being committed and have in the past done plain clothes surveillance. Some crime in ED decreased following arrests and imprisonment of offender(s). Some types of crimes are 'specialties' of certain criminals and police can often identify the person(s) involved - frequently they can pin point them to recently released prisoners. This is why it is important to report such incidences to your local Neighbourhood Police Team.
I'm a police sceptic but the last two times I've reported something (burglary in progress and suspicious men in car refusing to leave private land) the police responded very effectively. Other people's experiences may differ.
Sadly if it's valuable it will be nicked. Church roofs and lead when I was a kid. Things can be done to try to control the scrap metal market but there will always be ways and means. Nicking the copper cable from overhead lines, when live, shows how much money can be made. On a lighter touch I had a car once which provided spare parts for someone with the same model. They nicked the four plastic wheel trims, but as one was damaged then took a further one when I replaced them. And then the passenger side mirror - didn't even realise you could prise that off. I had a wheel taken once from another car, but they kindly left it on another wheel they just happened to have on them, so thanks for not letting it fall on its axle. A bonnet. And once a battery. All of these being pretty low value so not the organised gangs that take the catalysts.

Another car crime

Last evening at around 7.00 pm my wife heard a loud noise outside. Looking through the window she saw 3 men around our car. I ran out and challenged them (perhaps rather stupidly as I am no longer in the first flush of youth) and a man in a mask (white, aged around 35) said that he was affixing a clamp because my car was untaxed. A slim man emerged from under my vehicle and another stood the other side. Knowing that my car was taxed I shouted at my wife to call the police whereupon the 3 men rushed away (carrying my catalytic converter) into nearby Marsden road and tore off in a small dark car at high speed, almost knocking a Deliveroo bloke off his bike.

They used (I believe) a small jack with a drill to screw it up and an angle grinder to cut off the exhaust pipe. The angle grinder I assume made the noise that alerted my wife. The whole procedure cannot have taken more than a few minutes.

The sheer audacity of doing this at 7.00 pm outside our house in a fairly busy, well-lit street amazes me. Several people must have seen them. The police did not put in an appearance but in fairness the perpetrators had long gone.

I'm posting this to alert other local residents to be vigilant and to enquire as to there were any witnesses. If so, have a word with the local police.

    • The private sector is not going to build a significant amount of social housing. Everyone is very keen for *everyone else* to subsidise construction of social housing. I take it none of the objectors to this scheme was suggesting putting up council tax so Southwark could build more social housing...? Social housing isn't going to appear in serious numbers if the state doesn't borrow money and build it.
    • They must be really desperate to collab with Tesla. Honestly, it's not even the worst thing they've done. I've noticed these sex events happening in the last few months at a place that's supposed to be a restaurant and venue. I was planning my wedding there and was appalled by the setup for those events. When I discovered what was going on, I was disgusted by how they were using the same rooms as 'playrooms' where families are supposed to eat. The hygiene and safety concerns are just unacceptable. We really need to come together as a community to put a stop to this! They're destroying a sacred, Grade II listed building, and it's just not right. The owners need to be held accountable for their actions. It's time for us to stand up and protect our heritage and ensure that these spaces are used appropriately, especially when they should be serving families and the community.   sex events vid.mp4 sex events videe.mp4 Literally promoting it on their Instagram! Only just taken down after scrutiny.     
    • yes, which properly explains why they responded to me on this occassion, as i included the CQC in my response. I have spoken to the Health Ombudsman, and they feel the regulator is more suited to the issues I have raise for more than a year now. welcome aboard. its great to have you on the thread. so sorry you are also experiencing issues. has this been addressed as yet?
    • Tbh most Tesla owners are people who are concerned about the environment and have purchased accordingly- but mr nut job has soured their purchasing- so I actually sympathise with them being associated with such an awful man. But to actively promote the company given the knowledge we now know about him makes utterly unacceptable.
