A member parked at Kilburn station had car broken into and disabled badge stolen. Unfortunately the disable badges are issued to an individual rather than a vehicle making them very valuable. Understand from local police that this is an issue London wide and that all London councils together are trying to find a solution to this problem; however it is not straightforward. One can purchase a disable badge security protector for the vehicle to prevent people from using it if stolen (not sure how effective it is though). If it happens to you, need to inform Brent Council immediately that the disable badge has been stolen so that they can issue another one.
