I had my lovely campervan stolen on friday between 9pm and 7am saturday morning. It was parked on Crystal Palace Rd opposite number 32. Its a westfalia circa 1978 red and white, reg 0AA 231T. I think it was checked out earlier by two men who were parked up nearby for a while in a grey car - I know that's not much to go on but if you have a campervan look out because they are being stolen, and if anyone has any info /thoughts whatever please let me know
Heres a photo - not the best but gives an idea - and no it wasn't alarmed - something I hadn't got round to which is now a source of some regret - its usually parked elsewhere so I wasn't as alert to the theft issue as I could have been....

If you'd checked DVLA you'd have seen that it's taxed until 1 Mar 2013. So what was the point of the message?

Nice looking van


It's a bit too late to advise Mary to fit an alarm or tracker, but other dub owners should if they haven't already as they are old (and valuable)vehicles which aren't that hard to steal compared to modern cars and vans


Mary, I can advise putting a stolen notice on http://thelatebay.com/ in the stolen section as someone may have seen it


I hope you recover it soon as it is upsetting when a classic vehicle is stolen

Ouch. Sorry to hear about this Mary.

I hope it gets returned to you one way or another.


I was advised to always park with the front wheels turned so they are tightly in contact with the kerb. This makes it difficult to get apparatus under the wheels to lift the vehicle on to a flatbed.

    • Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious
    • Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄
    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.  
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
