Hi all,

My neighbour's front door was kicked in today. When she confronted the men, they claimed to be from the authorities and said they needed to come in. One of them even showed her an ID card - obviously fake.

She stood her ground and refused, and luckily they left.

It happened around 1pm in Upland Road. Three youngish men, white, possibly eastern european.

The police came very quickly and have been great. They told us there have been several attempted break-ins today in our area.

The men left an abandoned car nearby. Apparently there was a white van involved further up the road too - don't know full details.

We're certainly going to be extra cautious - double locking front doors etc. My neighbour's door was only locked with the yale lock, which made it more than usually easy to kick in.

Just an update, we had an attempted break in in Sydenham last night and I managed to scare them of. The police came round shortly after and mentioned a silver subaru who had broken in somewhere in Beckenham early. It seems they might be driving around looking for targets.

According to www.askmid.com (the insurance database), GJ56 HXV shows up as this:


Vehicle Make/Model: VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT SE TDI


So not a Subaru.....

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
