Why did my NDN steal my brownies?

And then, instead of sitting on them for 2 months, why didn’t he throw them away?

Right.

I have NC as I may end up doing a diagram and giving out details about how to get into my house.

My friend has started a traybake business so she sent me some brownies as a trial to see how they would cope with the Royal Mail system. She posted them to me on 21 November but they never arrived. We have a secluded porch and the postman/lady know that it is safe to leave packages by the front door or behind a plant pot as we are not on a public road.

My friend sent me another box of brownies and they arrived the day after she’d posted them. The only thing she did differently was to leave the parcel wrap as plain as possible and to not put on a branded sticker.

Anyway, we put it down to “one of those things” and forgot all about it. Until…

I went out the other day to walk the dog. I left the house via the back door and came back in again via the back door. As I opened our side gate to get into the back garden I saw a small package propped up against the greenhouse at the back of the garden. I went over and it was the original box of brownies. The brown paper was clean and dry.

I can see the green house from the kitchen window. I use the back door everyday. We have tidied up the garden, cut back the foliage, put up Christmas lights, checked the lawn for doggy doo, gone to the vegetable patch regularly since November and none of us have seen this package in that time. It was carefully placed so it hadn’t been chucked over the fence.

So what happened to my brownies for two months? And why did someone wait for me to leave the house and then sneak around the back and hide them in my garden?

I live in a secluded cul de sac. We are in a semi circle and my house is on one of the ends. My immediate neighbour has installed CCTV which we suspect films directly into my front garden so he will know when we go out of the house. There has been a bit of history (understatement) with him so we try to remain on distant but cordial terms.

So, if he did take the brownies, because the postman delivered them to him, why did he not tell me at the time, and if he forgot about them, why did he not throw them away? Why did he hide them in my garden after all this time? I could ask him directly but that would be too awkward, what would I say?

I reckon they delivered to a neighbour who accidentally forgot about them. Then they found them the other day and snuck them into the garden when you went out to avoid embarrassment.

They probably got delivered to a busy neighbour in November, who then misplaced / forgot about the package. They’ve just found them but we’re feeling too awkward about how long it’s taken so just snuck them into your garden?

I get that, but why did he not just bin them?

So they can say they have them back ? No one will know!

Also, why not put the parcel at the front door? He would have to pass it, go round the other side to get to the back gate and then instead of putting them against the back door, he went down to the bottom of the garden to put the parcel against the greenhouse? No courier ever goes there, they tend to leave parcels at the front of next to the gate.
