LittleBarry Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Hi there all, Juut wanted to remind everyone to be safe and secure. Whilst I was at work yesterday our ground floor flat on Barry Road was burgled. They came in through the ground floor kitchen window. We have new double glazed windows which were locked - but they still crowbarred their way in. They took two laptops and some irreplaceable jewellery that was not even worth that much money but holds a lot of sentimental value... The police advised us to make sure it was harder to get around the back of the house, and to hide laptops and valuables, so just passing this on. They also said that whilst there are not too many burglaries in ED, there have been a couple recently on Barry Road. Take care all. Sophie.

owlwise Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 How awful. You poor things. Maybe for peace of mind you should get a monitored alarm fitted. Direct Security are a good company based in Sydenham. I've used them for over 10 years and would highly recommend them and their rates are reasonable. I hope I'm allowed to put this link here but here are their contact details. http://www.directsecurity.net/Contactus.html Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/26275-burglary-on-barry-road-last-night/#findComment-586212 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoopDeDoo Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Terrible news. Any prints? With all these incidents gong on, you'd think the police would be more on point, but seems they've got better things to do. Last year our own house was completely ransacked on Underhill Road, no one saw a thing. No prints, nothing. Happened very similar to yours, through the ground floor kitchen window. They actually dragged the brown garden bin to the window and used it as a thing to climb on. They then knocked down the back fence and made their escape via lordship lane (again no cctv, despite searching though hours worth). This seems to a a prevalent tactic these days, the back garden kitchen thing.

first mate Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Perhaps the news that ED police station is folding/folded is emboldening burglars.

biancason Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'm sorry to hear it. We were burglarized on Barry Rd about a year ago. I wonder if we couldn't convince the council to install cameras...or is that nuts?

BecsBex Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I don't think it's nuts at all. Barry Road is clearly a regular target. With ED Police Station closing down and the police being too busy with other things to actually come over for a burglary incident when you need them (as in my case), I think cameras are a marvellous idea.

LittleBarry Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hi there Thanks all for your good wishes.. They may break my window but not my spirit!! Sorry to say that there were no prints.. I have to commend the police who were round really quickly and were really supportive, as were the safer neighbourhood team who visited us the next day to advise as too how we could step up the security. WhoopDeDoop - your experience sounds terrible. Hope you are ok and back to normal at home.. Take care, Sophie.

Lover of dulwich Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Really sorry to hear of this...I know how much it actually hurts to have sentimental jewellery taken its irreplaceable, hopefully Karma will give whoever stole it from you a massive high five up the side of their heads!!!

Carrie1 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Adopt a family pet dog could very well prevent you from becoming the victim of a robbery.

Carrie1 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Double key deadbolts are the kind that requires a key not only to enter, but also to exit. With a double key deadbolt lock, if thieves do break in, getting your stuff out is going to be really difficult unless they break the door down.

biancason Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Should we start a petition for cameras? I was also mugged on Barry Rd two years ago...

LadyDeliah Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 We live near the top of Barry Road and my neighbour got burgled at night about 2 weeks ago when he was sleeping. He had his expensive car stolen too.They came through the front door which should have been double locked, but wasn't. The next door neighbour has a dog too, but no-one heard anything. I've got the same type of door, so you can bet I'm double locking mine after what happened to my neighbour, even during the day.The police have said there is a rise in burglaries in the area recently.
