Someone has posted a tiny bag of white powder through our letterbox!

[UmmWTF]

Me and DH are freaking out a bit. At about 10pm we heard the letterbox go while we were watching TV but didn't immediately check it. We've just got up to head to bed and it's a tiny little ziplock bag (like 50p sized tiny) with white lumpy powder in it

We're going to have to call 111 in the morning arent we? Really freaked and going to struggle to sleep now!

What the actual fuck

I've named changed as I don't want this weirdness linked to my normal username

111 is NHS - 101 now would be my suggestion :)

Sounds like coke put through the wrong address. Do u have any dodgy neighbours?

Call 101 instead, NHS Direct probably can't help.

Drug dealer posted through the wrong letter box?

@tired2021 that's what I meant

@ledkr I didn't think so, they seem normal but we only moved in in the summer!

Yes I did mean 101, tired and stressed, sorry!

Haha you've got someone else's drugs!

DH is concerned that if they realise its the wrong address they'll come and ask for it back...

They might come and ask for it back when they realise

I'd worry whoever it was meant for might knock on your door later

Wonder if it's best to let 101 know now?

Yeah thats worrying

No way are they going to come and ask for it back.

I'd just bin it and forget about it.

I don't think the police will be interested at all tbh.

Nice to know drug dealers offer contact-free delivery, taking the pandemic seriously I see! enjoy your night OP

Actually forget 101 in that case, I'd just hand it over to whoever knocks.

Wrong I know but I wouldn't want trouble at my door.

Give it a sniff, you'll soon know what it is

I wouldn't be so sure

A lot of people are absolutely brazen around here.

is it a neighbour returning some sugar?

Yes very good guys you're at least making me laugh through it!

DH is a goody two shoes and I'm really struggling with stress at the moment for other reasons so I have no idea whether not making a fuss/giving it to someone if they knock for it or 101 is the better idea!

They might ask for it back if they know it’s at your address. They paid for it and it’s not like the dealer will give them a replacement, it would be easier for them to ask you for it

Can’t you leave it outside on your doorstep?

Yeah I’d be handing it over too if they knocked on for it 😑

Can you post a photo? Is it crystally?

Honestly just bin it and forget about it, no one will come for it. It's been put through the wrong door obviously but no one will admit the mistake or want to risk coming for them and getting caught up in any drama! This probably happens all the time. I really wouldn't worry and wouldn't ring anyone.
