We get kids climbing over the fence, then trying all the garages- apparently they'll steal bikes and things if the garage is not locked.
Some of the flats have had some opportunistic theft- but that's all (so far) been where windows or balcony doors have been left unlocked/open.
It's fairly sleepy, really- if you make sure to lock everything then you'll be ok.
Lordship Lane is a victim of its own success- pickpockets and bag thieves target the pubs and bars there, but again if you are careful that's not a big problem.
They're not going to fight you for your bag, they'll just put their newspaper over it and try to take it when you're not looking.
