To the neighbour who just stole my Deliveroo...

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you're looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money (because it all went on the burger)... but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my Deliveroo go now, that will be the end of it - I will not look for you, I will not pursue you... but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you... and I will kill let everyone know that you're a thieving arsehole.

P.S. I watched you accept the order but couldn't approach you because I'm shielding and was waiting for you to simply point the driver in the right direction. I know who you are. WHO DOES THAT!?!?!! YOU PSYCHOPATH.

P.P.S. I tried to flag down the delivery man AND called his number but it wasn't a real one. Just in case anyone asks. (Nobody will ask).

Yes, this does deserve it's own thread. I JUST WANTED A FUCKING BURGER AND NOW EVERYWHERE ELSE IS CLOSED.

P.P.P.S. I reaaaaally hope you're on Mumsnet, burger thief. I hope the guilt made it taste vile.

It tasted really nice, thanx. The burger thief xxxxx

GrinGrinGrin Sorry about your burger and your God awful neighbours but your thread made me laugh my head off

Gliblet · 16/01/2021 22:07

Well, there is a chance they'd ordered as well and yours turned up first (and they're now feeling shitty having realised what they've done), but of course it's far more likely that you're going to have to find a socially distanced way of coating their genitals in peanut butter and lowering them into a vat of hungry rats.

BuffaloCauliflower · 16/01/2021 22:07

What a dickhead, that’s such a shitty thing to do. Do tell Deliveroo you didn’t get your burger and put a detailed delivery note next time.

Ronniesgirl · 16/01/2021 22:08

Scummy bastards. I’m shielding too and also ordered a burger and chips. I did get them but they weren’t as nice as I’d hoped.

I’d be putting a boot through his door by now. Channel Joey “JOEY DOESNT SHARE FOOD!”

olderthanilookapparently · 16/01/2021 22:13

Complain to Deliveroo your didn't get your meal and demand another?

underneaththeash · 16/01/2021 22:17

Why didn’t you video on phone and call police?

Elouera · 16/01/2021 22:17

Can you not call/contact deliveroo and explain the OP to them? Surely the driver needs proof that it was indeed delivered to the correct address?

Pbbananabagel · 16/01/2021 22:18

definitely call Deliveroo and complain

CandyLeBonBon · 16/01/2021 22:21

I'll provide the alibi OP!

SlopesOff · 16/01/2021 22:21

Are you able to go out when everyone is safely locked in for the night and no germs about and put something very unpleasant through their letterbox?

If you live near me I will do it for you.

MushMonster · 16/01/2021 22:24

It wasn't me OP, I swear! I am not in an rush to find what those super skills are. Having seeing you around, we think you are M5 secret agent, so we stir clearGrin

HopeYourHighHorseBucks · 16/01/2021 22:26

This would never happen to Liam Neeson. Work on your growly voice and mean face for any future incidents.

Also egg their house.

Because she's not an insane person
Hawkins001 · 16/01/2021 22:28

With all due respect, could the neighbors have also ordered food from somewhere ? Is there any proof that it was your food that was misdelivered ?

JustPassingByCarryOn · 16/01/2021 22:32

Sorry OP but this is what you remined me of. I'm so sorry this has happened to you.

To the neighbour who just stole my Deliveroo...
SnowflakeCulture · 16/01/2021 22:36

Will you get your money back?

Hello, OP's neighbour.
MessAllOver · 16/01/2021 22:38

Bizarre... what sort of crime spot do you live in Grin? Who swipes someone else's dinner?

MrsTweedy73 · 16/01/2021 22:41

I understand you're shielding, but could you not pop on a mask and go and give them a socially distanced thrashing with a fucking broom? Grin

Robbybobtail · 16/01/2021 22:41

To be fair, the delivery man may have had the wrong address or something so palmed it off on your neighbours or as a pp said they could’ve ordered too and accepted it mistakenly? I’ve had that happen to me.

Or they could just be theiving greedy bastard CF’s. Pop a dog shit through their letterbox in the dead of night?

Exactly what I first thought, and yes, I know people who do this. Can we be friends? I’ll bring the peanut butter, might take a while to catch the rats
BlackeyedSusan · 16/01/2021 22:43

sneak out in the middle of the night and write burger thief in chalk on the pavement outside their house. or leave a big fuck off burger thief poster under their windscreen wipers.

Jacketpotato84 · 16/01/2021 22:44

Karma will get them dont worry. Youll get your burger +++ just know your a decent honest person that wouldn't steal from someone now that tastes the best

Or revenge is a dish best served cold lol sorry i couldn't help it x
