Vespa stolen on Ondine Road

[neil6279]

My light blue vespa was stolen from outside my flat on Ondine Road on Friday night. If anyone see it can you please let me know? It might have been dumped in a park or back street as it only had a small amount of fuel in it. This is the second significant crime to have happened to us since living on Ondine Road, on December the 10th we were burgled too :(

Someone posted a couple of days ago saying they'd challenged a couple of teenagers who were making off with a Vespa I think it was on the same road.

If I remember right, the poster was weighed down with shopping bags do could not chase.

Search the board you'll see the post - if same bike then it'll be posts no older than Sat evening.

I have just had to call the police after catching two 12-13 yr olds (the boys were about 5ft max, white, slight build, and wearing hoodies) stealing a new Vespa on Ondine Road. I was weighed down with sainos bags but challenged them and they eventually ran off with the moped. If you live in the area, make sure you lock up/protect any bikes as best as you can.

I know for definite that the police and fire brigade were with a burning scooter on the Denmark Hill Estate at around 0200-0300hrs on Saturday morning. Don't think they could identify the bike because it was so badly burned but it definitely looked like a Vespa from the frame!

It was at the junction of Sunray Avenue and Denmark Hill on a small grassy area.

Hope it's not yours but just thought of let you know...................

Thanks for letting me know. I will try and find out if it was mine or not. Knowing my luck i imagine it will be!
