My husband has just had to chase away a young man who had pulled the fuel line from under his scooter and was draining off the fuel. 2 hatchbacks (1 light/silver 1 dark possibly blue) pulled up opposite our place near Heber Primary school, the guys had got out of the darker car and started to steal the fuel, husband went out to investigate, when he asked the guy what he was doing brazenly and calmly replied "taking your fuel mate, 'cos I need it", after pulling out a smartphone and attempting to film them he bolted jumped in the car and both cars sped off towards lordship lane with their lights off.


Didn't get any pictures or footage of them sadly as it all happened within about 20 seconds.


The lighter of the two cars had some females in the back and there must have been at least one other person in the darker car as they left far too quickly for him to have been driving.


We called 101, two police officers came round within 20mins they took the deatails and gave us a ref number etc. No one expects anything to happen, but it needs reporting if only to raise awareness. Hence this post.


So if you can be extra vigilant and secure your scooter a little better tonight then please do. I'd hate this to happen to anyone else.

> No one expects anything to happen,


With your husband's identification and testimony, combined with the police being able to match those to the perpetrator, via the car's registration number, I'd have thought there was a fair possibility. Maybe less so if both cars are stolen.

    • Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.
    • Yes, but the context is important and the reason.
    • That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in. 
    • TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
