Burgled - Underhill Road (18th March 2014)


Recommended Posts

Hello


So upset and angry to say we were burgled yesterday - 18th March 2014.

Numerous electronics, their cables and other items stolen. It's a truly horrible feeling so I'm hoping that posting here will help people be even more vigilant.


Of course all windows & doors in our flat were locked, but the sash window was forced.


PLEASE

- never ever leave your premises with even a window ajar

- have restrictive locks and screws fitted to sashes so they can't be fully opened

- hide any high value items away. People are looking through windows

- always look out for neighbours and question any unusual activity. Someone was in our garden, on a main road, forcing a big window open with tools in broad daylight

- If burglar alarm goes off, yes it's annoying, but please check it out


A few months ago we had an Eastern European male repeatedly ring our doorbell during the day who liked startled when we answered and gave a very rehearsed excuse. So don't think "it'll never happen to little old me" - it does!

I'm so sorry to hear this whiterose , I was burgled a couple of years ago and it is truly awful . I'm on belvoir road and I've noticed how many people are around due to the new road surfaces being put down . Loads of strangers easy I would think to blend in ! I don't know what part of Underhill road you are but we've just started a new neighbourhood watch and were informed of a burglary yesterday at this end of Underhill/ belvoir . Just wondering if it was the same one ?

Working in the area latley, and always drive home the point to the boys 'never leave the front door open'never mind your tools ,these guys are looking to run in and grab what they can whilst you are scratching your arse out in the back garden.

    • The EDF is social media, and it seems to have met its goals of connecting and engaging the local community. The 'media' part isn't a reference to the BBC, it refers to 'a substance that something grows in, lives in or moves through' as a plural of 'medium'. In the sense that the 'something' is people, then it does the job. Whe it comes to the BBC, the 'something' is information. For the most part the contribution has been positive. However, the downsides are driven by anonymity, and have allowed the worst of human nature to surface.
    • I'm pretty sure it was still Le Chardon until 2008, maybe later. They also had The Green on East Dulwich Road, which is now Kokum. Service could be a bit 'French' in both places, but the food was good. It then had an incarnation selling quiches or something similar. It was a bit esoteric. The place where everything went against them was Saucy Chip, which was the old Curry Cabin. It's now Joe & The Juice. SE22 Bar was there before Franklin's, which I reckon opened just before the Millennium. I've got a vague recollection an (East) Dulwich Brasserie/Bistro or something similar around there at some point. The photo of the Dulwich Cafe above reminded me of when they changed the name and sign to 'Cafe Dulwich' to reflect how the area was going upmarket.  They didn't change the menu or decor at all. Just the sign.
    • 😥 Sorry, somehow my post above was duplicated instead of being merged with this one, and I can't delete all of the duplicated bits. Many moons ago, we used to have fairly regular "Forum Drinks", where forum members could meet up and get to know each other in real life. We met in a different local pub each time, and sometimes had sticky labels with our forum names on. A lot of those original people have moved away, but it has occasionally crossed my mind that it would be nice to start that up again and be able to put more faces to names (not that I ever remember either faces OR names)  Or maybe it is still happening but I'm kept out of the loop 🤣  Many of those pubs we used to go to have now changed out of all recognition, of course. Also there seem to be more families with young children in the area, for whom evening drinks would be difficult. I don't have time to do it, but if anybody else was up for organising it I'd be happy to help. It mainly involves deciding on a date, I imagine trying to get a rough idea of how many people would be interested,  and then booking a suitable sized space in a local pub and telling people about it on here  I don't know how it was arranged before, but maybe some of the longer standing forum users may know. I just used to turn up!
    • Yup, it's 15 year project (I think some elements of it started a year or so ago).  Imagine how annoyed Earl will be when they find out that the new Teaco superstore planned has underground parking for 530 cars....
