I have written on a couple of threads on here about vandalism to our car over the last few months whilst parked on Melbourne Grove, right near Lordship Lane. After 3 separate incidents of keying and two deliberately broken wing mirrors (pavement side both times), we bought a car cover which has been doing the trick for the last couple of weeks. Well, yesterday evening we found that the car cover has been stolen! I wondered whether it could have blown off, but it was specifically fitted to our mini and tucked under the bumpers so someone would have had to deliberately taken it off. We are so frustrated and annoyed and really don't know what to do. Has anyone else been experiencing these sorts of ongoing problems? We've now been quoted nearly ?1000 to fix the damage and will likely claim on insurance (which I really don't want to do...) but we're worried that if we get it fixed it will just happen again.

Have just got home late at night to find my wing mirror broken off ... pavement side, parked close to a bollard so can't see how it is anything other than deliberate ... East Dulwich Grove opposite the hospital. These problems do the area no good at all ... seems to be plenty of CCTV to capture parking offences, but nothing to capture this ....
I really feel for you. One of the reasons I decided not to replace my car when it died a few years ago was that it was constantly vandalised when parked outside my house on Lordship Lane. My wing mirrors were twisted off, the passenger door was jemmied, the paintwork and scratched something was put in the locks. It was an average Renault Clio so not exactly a high end vehicle. I hire cars or a use a car club now - it suits me, although not ideal on a nice day like this when I could jump in car and go for a drive in the country.

    • What's probably happened here is an assignment of Poundland's lease. This means that Tesco would purchase the remaining terms of Poundland's lease from Poundland. It could be contingent on the council approving the plans for the signage change and ATM. The landlord would be happy because then a stronger tenant moves into their space. Poundland gets a bit of cash in the form of a premium. Tesco gets a fully baked lease to take over.  Companies don't submit these plans unless it was going to happen. It takes time and money to draw up these plans, and if you review them you'll see the drawings of the frontage are clearly 29-35 Lordship Lane. Meaning someone had surveyed the space and drawn up plans based on the specific property. 
    • I have no agenda just a simple response expressing my thoughts and experience.  
    • Just as one example, the grass in a least some of  the tree pits in Ulverscroft Road appears to have been sprayed. If it's not the council who has done it, then I wonder if someone is trying to kill the trees 😭 although I doubt if that would work, as the council have sprayed tree pits in the past (ignoring handwritten notices by my then very young grandchildren asking them not to spray as they had sowed flower seeds there) 🤬 Grass in the pavement nearby appears to have been neither sprayed nor scraped out. I'm quite confused.
    • They aren't. They are removing them manually, scraping and cutting them out. I've seen them doing it on my road and surrounding roads. I can't imagine that they would have different methods in different parts of East Dulwich.
