Last night, Monday 9th, at around 8.30 I was stationary at the traffic lights on East Dulwich Grove/Peckham Rye when a scumbag on a cycle came alongside my passenger door. He said you just hit me, i knew i hadnt but before i could lock my door, he opened it and grabbed my coat from the front seat. We both spotted my bag (which was under the coat) at the same time, and both grabbed for it - he won ! He cycled off through the alley between the flats. Luckily there was nothing of value in the bag - apart from my reading glasses - i'm blind without them.

I just wanted to warn everyone to be careful at traffic lights and to make sure you lock your doors.

My mum was robbed at traffic lights-they smashed her window and took her bag off the passenger seat before he knew what was happening. I don't put my bag on passenger seat now. How cheeky to have opened your door. Glad they got nothing of value to them and hope you're ok.
Sorry to hear about your terrible experience, I never lock my door but my wife always tells me to, you always think nothing will happen, but its a unfortunate reminder we all need to be more careful. Hope you're ok and glad that at least they didn't make off with any valuables.
Thanks everyone, yes i'm fine but was very upset at the time - i think i felt quite stupid! I did call the police and they were very good and drove me round to see if we could spot him, but no luck. He was white, probably 30 - 40 wearing dark clothes and it was a dark bike. He had short balding hair and he looked rough - probably a skag head lol. I'll know him if i see him again - so he better watch out.

    • He/she followed me and my friends quite a long way along the road so we worried they might be out of their catchment area. Quite dusty paws which also made me think perhaps they’d been roaming away from home for a few days. Took photos in case anyone is missing them! Very pretty, friendly long-haired black and white cat, leopard print collar, pink paw-print metal tag. They eventually stopped following us across the road from Mrs Robinson.
    • I took it to mean that he was going to present all sides of the argument (for want of a better term) rather than just giving his own opinion. I didn't take it to mean that he was calling "his own views" balanced.
    • I just did this survey. There are a number of problems with it. For example, in at least two questions you have an option "other, please specify" but there is no way to specify what the "other" is. Also, you have several questions where if you have nothing appropriate to answer, you get a statement "this is a required question", or words to that effect, so you have to put in something like "nothing" in order to move on. Can I suggest that this is likely to confuse people so they just give up half way through? Maybe you should test it out on a few people before going "live" with it?
    • I went to Brockwell Lido on a hot day last summer to do some lengths. It was busy.  I kept getting other people's hair, which was floating around the pool, tangled in my hands. It was gross. I'm not sure if that was unusual, or if it's always like that on a hot day.
