Last week my boyfriend had gone out at 7pm in our car when he came back at 10.45 his van was blocking our entrance you turn into our flats . The van was in the car park outside our flats just on botton off Sydenham hill. Someone had got in van ( yet again no signs of Falsed entry , turned van around and left it blocking entrance with head lights on . Not quite sure what theirs plans where .
I can completely understand why you might leave a buggy hidden in the boot. They are perhaps not the most obvious thing to steal and in this rubbish weather you have to bring buggy in to clean house with mud and leaves all over the wheels. I don't have a car btw so my small flat is covered in leaves.
Yup. Getting small, tired kids and babies out of a car in the dark and in crap weather makes a journey back to the car to unpack a buggy/pram a right pain and sometimes impractical, we often leave ours there it's not like leaving a bag or a mobile, I completley emphasise so the smuggy 'common sense posters' should do a bit of thinking themselves.....

Have you all been watching Loot/Gumtree/Ebay/Local Facebook/EDF to see if any of these prams are for sale?


If you wouldn't leave a wallet filled with ?800 in cash in your car overnight, why would you leave a bugaboo in the boot? I am not unsympathetic because obviously the thieves are the bastards and it should of course be possible to leave everything lying around without risk of it being stolen, but it is a legitimate question in a relatively high crime area I would have thought.

I was on here looking for something else and stumbled upon this thread. We had our bugaboo stolen from our car sometime between new year eve and the morning of the 2nd jan from Silvester Road. Seems to be a high demand, only other thing taken was the satnav. The car was definitely locked at night. I have searched ebay etc but no sign, did anyone else have any luck?
Oh my god I am so glad I was on the only one... i thought it was personal! I had my Bugaboo stolen from the boot of the car with the footmuff and rain cover. LIVID! We called the police and have a crime no and we live on Pellatt road. The car was locked and it was parked right outside our house. it happened on the 30th Dec. Do we know if there is any CCTV cameras on the roads? such scum bags
Just a general heads up - our car was broken into in the parking lot (Choumert Grove/ Peckham) yesterday around 5.00ish. Nothing was stolen except a school bag (!), and unfortunatley car door jammed open with a screw driver or something so the door has to be repaired. We did report to the police as apparently there are cameras around the car park .......
  • 2 months later...

We have had our car broken into twice on Jennings Road, first time they took the Sat Nav, the second time over Christmas the iCandy was taken.


This morning I happened to look out of the window around 6.45 and I actually saw the man trying to open the boot of our car. Shouted out of the windows at him and he walked across the road to his push bike which was perched against a wall and pedalled off. I am sure it is the same man as our CCTV showed someone on a push bike a month ago circling outside our house.


The man is around 5 foot 6, eastern eurpean, short brown hair, blue jeans with a beige jacket. Police have been notified.


With a definitive description hopefully this scum can finally be picked up by the police but I doubt it.


Still cannot believe the cheek of this man seeing as it was broad daylight!!

eastern eurpean


I'm afraid I don't know what Eastern Europeans look like - how are they different from Western Europeans? Southern Europeans (from e.g. Southern Italy, Greece, Southern Spain, do occasionally have a more tanned look (probably from being more tanned). Or are you trying to say 'Roma' without saying it (and I'm not sure, out of a hooped caravan, I'd be able to spot a Roma in a crowd anyway). People from the far North of Europe (Northern Norway, Finland, Northern Russia, are of course more easily spotable, as they are ethnically different from other Europeans (the Sami).

    • on a practical level found here these have very positive feedback:   Danny - 07943 673482 joeast 12/09/23 Just had my roof replaced by Danny (mobile 07943 673482) who I would highly recommend. He is honest, clean, reliable and explained the work and sent photos as the work progressed. His initial estimate for costs was detailed and close to the actual price of the job. jamondo 07/12/24 Another recommendation for Danny here!  After carrying out extensive work on our property in 2018, we have constantly had problems  with the newly built roof.  Then followed numerous fixes and bodges by the builders then by other so called 'experts' and professionals' charging extortionate amounts and / or giving guarantees that amounted to nothing.  Lots of 'it could be this and that etc...'  Sadly our tale of woe is not uncommon. After getting a number of people to look at the roof - the consensus was that the whole roof needed redoing (it was clear that by now the roof looked a mess with multiple things done wrong or poorly).  We obtained quotes and decided to go with Danny - his was the most competitive but it was not overriding factor behind why we did.  Danny made clear what the quote covered and where there might be extra work required as he got to it (this was fairly minor). He was easy to get a hold of and responded promptly and he was also happy to offer up refences which I did contact and all were happy to vouch for him. Minor downside was that we had a bit of a wait, but it was worth it.  When work started I was kept updated with progress and photos.  Issues were dealt with, and although I'm not an expert by any means the appearance of the work was top.  Most importantly we are leak free! bonzo 17/05/25 Needed a new rear roof for terrace house in East Dulwich and heard about Danny Denton (07943 673482). Have worked with over 20 builders in the past but this guy was way the best - polite, hard working, honest, professional, informative, highly skilled and above all quoted lower than any of the others who came down to view the job. If you need roofing work I would definitely give him a call. If he's busy working else where I assure you he is well worth waiting for. He got the scaffold up and job finished in no time and kept me informed at every stage. Another roofer (who appears on this forum) gave a quote which was three times higher than Danny's.   #########################################################   Norwood Roofing 07412 000 214 Email Address: [email protected] Website: https://norwoodroofing.co.uk/ Fee163 01/01/26 Another 5 star recommendation for David and Patrick. Got in touch with David last week regarding clearing our gutters and as always he quoted immediately and came out within the week to do the job.  We've used David and Patrick for all our roof work for almost 10 years .   They also did an amazing job for my sister who is based outside the area - she couldn't easily find someone local and they stepped in and did a fantastic job (it was quite a big job).  Can't recommend them highly enough, really personable, always reliable and so easy to work with and consistent, just wouldn't work with anyone one else!  Thanks again David and Patrick. caroline5553 12/01/26 Another recommendation for David and Patrick. David came out the same day we called, had scaffolding up by the weekend and the job done on Monday. Really nice guys, never made me feel uncomfortable, easy to work with and seemed to have done a great job. Thanks, David and Patrick! sheppick 15/12/25 I would also recommend David and Patrick. David quoted immediately, and they came and did the work I needed the following week. They fixed my leaking roof and did a number of other jobs for me that were needed on the roof. Really reliable, turned up on time and very reasonable quote. Super easy to deal with and I would highly recommend.  #################################################################   Which Trusted Trader R Tredget & Son 07905829393 or 07956553852  [email protected] http://www.rtredgetandson.com/ OUR FEATURED WORKS Roofing, plumbing, kitchen installation, building, interior decorating, electrical installation, bathroom installation, exterior decorating, tiling, plastering, landscaping & carpentry 02/08/25 This is the second time R. Tredget & Son have carried out works on our property. Part of the work included the repair of cladding on an end gable that Richard had previously installed but it had since been accidentally damaged by another trades-person. I assumed I'd pay for such repair work, as the damage was no fault of his own, but when we discussed this, Richard was adamant he would not charge! Made a lovely job of the repair too. When you turn your home (or part of it) over to builders it often feels like they've taken over. Not so with Richard, Adam and Harrison. They respect your property and are willing to work with you. They keep you informed at every stage, offering suggestions and alternatives as appropriate and they don't take liberties. We are so glad to have found R. Tredget & Son builders: quality work from reliable, hard-working and courteous folks. 10/10/24 Multiple jobs complete to a high standard We've used Richard for a few years now getting our house complete. He and his team have completely refitted our kitchen, replaced ceilings, built internal and external walls, laid flooring, plastered, decorated, fixed guttering, fit skirting boards; the list goes on! They take pride in their work, and every job we've needed doing, they've always done to a high standard. No job was too big or too small for them, and I've no doubt the quality work they've done has increased the value of our house, so a big thanks again for everything they've done. 17/04/24 A Great Family Run Company This was our first time having works done in a new house so we were understandably nervous! From the first meeting with Richard and Adam we knew that we would be in good hands. Nothing that we wanted done was too much of an issue, even if it was a bit more of a challenge to them (unlike some other quotes we got!). They gave clever suggestions but weren't pushy with it and had good ideas! We had a whole new bathroom installed and then some structural work done around the house. The guys always made sure that they left the house in a clean state at the end of every day, which really made a difference to our standard of living during the works. Richard, Michelle, Adam, and H were trustworthy and communication was perfect throughout. We used some of their guys for boiler/electrics too and they were also great. Would highly recommend taking them on for your works!       
    • Bit of a long-shot, but I dropped my glasses somewhere along my run last night, after taking them off due to the rain. The glasses are Giorgio Armani with grey frames. My running route attached, so they could be anywhere along this route. If you've found them, please get in touch! 07971806292 Many thanks James
    • I'm in the middle of the civil service pension crisis with no pension for 4 months and counting. No access to the much publicised loans either. I have emailed Helen Hayes several times. It took her 6 weeks to contact Capita on my behalf but no follow up, no reply, she didn't attend the Westminster Hall debate about the issue either. Lots of other MPs are speaking and acting on behalf of their constituents but I've had no joy. Has anyone else please? What works to get help from Helen Hayes?
    • Our cat Suki has gone missing from Keston Road near Goose Green. Please let us know if you see her anywhere or can check your sheds and gardens. You can contact us me on 07980308743 or [email protected].  Thanks Chris
