Yes, it's me again, the chap that copped a punch to the face and lost his iPhone outside Venezia a couple of weeks back.
This time some charming peeps (or peep) broke into my house, stole an estate-load of my stuff and took my estate (and bike) for completeness.
If any of you happened to see a dark purple-blue old BMW being driven away in haste from the Woodstock Rd/Perth Rd area on Saturday morning, it'd be great to hear from you. Similarly, if you live around the same area and saw or heard anything unusual, give me a shout.
Now, repeat after me: Stroud Green is not a crime hot spot. Stroud Green is not a crime hot spot...
Mustering up all the love and good karma I have,

Anyway, sorry to hear that, deepest sympathies.
We haven't lived in the area for long and are all-of-a-sudden less confident in the safety of our place now.
Hopefully this is the end of your bad luck! Good luck with catching the b*stards.
Unfortunately, I cannot say “Stroud Green is not a crime hot spot” as I have lived in the area for just over a year and have been done twice!!! The first time the car suffered, the second time the house. I definitely beat the statistics!
On Sunday, 5 June, four men on two red motorbikes wearing exactly the same white helmets arrived to the front of my house, rang the bell several times and aggressively knocked on my door. I didn’t open. Anybody knows what this might have been about? Anybody had similar experience?
I think we as a neighbourhood must be more vigilant and protect each other. Somebody mentioned there is a Neighbourhood watch meeting tomorrow 7pm at the Old Dairy. We should probably all go to see how we can protect ourselves...
