Regular poster, but changed name to guarantee anonymity
We have lived in our house for the past 6 years in a reasonably affluent area, however our immediate neighbours are what I can only describe as "deprived". As far as we're aware, neither the man or woman has ever worked (atleast for aslong as we've known them!) and there is the usual bad language, loud music, dodgy dealings etc.
A few years ago we had issues with them because their dogs kept getting into our front garden, and we built a brick wall separating the properties which of course they didn't like. Since then we have had general passive aggressive behaviours, dirty looks, comments etc from them. But we have also had another strange occurrence...
For the past couple of years we have randomly found food left in our gardens, yes, you read that right, FOOD. Whole heads of cabbage, chills, peppers, whole batons of bread and once, even a whole fish! Ok, we live on the coast in Whitby, but I've never heard of fish being dropped by gulls etc. It is quite obviously being chucked over the back fence into our garden, and sometimes on top of our garage roof.
This usually stops during the summer but starts again during the darker months. On cue, it has started again this week! Have any of you ever experienced anything as weird as this? If so, what did you do? We can't prove it is them outright, as it happens at night or when we are out.
AIBU to expect my neighbours to act like adults?
