Anyone have any idea how I can stop my neighbour from doing this when I have already tried talking to him?

[zingerdoot]

My neighbour keeps doing something and it's got to the point where he's actually doing my head in now because he doesn't need to be doing it and two he won't explain why he is.. I have spoken to him but it's still happening..

Family came round to my flat once and knocked on the door, As I was walking down the stairs to answer I heard my neighbour come out of his flat and say 'She never answers her door can I give her a message?' Thought it was odd as I opened the door but didn't really think anything of it, Until it happened again. Basically if he ever sees anyone knock at my door he will go out and tell them I never answer the door.. I do answer the door and I'm not sure why he thinks I don't so I spoke to him about it and he refused to talk to me about it and closed his door.

Now over the last month I have not been getting any parcels delivered, ALL of them have been delivered to neighbour, I have never ticked the box to say deliver to neighbour and I am always in as I work from home, I just get notification that parcels have been delivered then when I check he has them.

Managed to catch dpd driver today handing neighbour my parcel so I asked in front of neighbour why he keeps delivering my stuff to my neighbour when I'm at home and he's not even knocking on my door, dpd guy said my neighbour always comes out and either tells him i'm not in or I never answer the door.

Anyone have any ideas on how to stop my neighbour from saying this? It's gone passed being strange for me and it's now starting to piss me off. I have lived here with zero issues for ten years, he moved in a year ago. We live in flats but each have our own front doors so I have no idea why he is even near mine at all to be doing this in the first place, it's not a communal entrance.

for the record I do answer my door when people knock and I have no idea why he thinks i don't.. It's at the point now where family think I'm not in and don't bother knocking sometimes..

I did this when I had a creepy neighbour who was also an alcoholic. One day a box of wine I'd ordered went missing and the delivery firm had left it with him, I was able to point to my clear instructions not to, and got another one sent to me. If you can do that, then do so, and don't go to him for any parcels delivered to him in error - make them send a new one.

Not 100% sure what you’re asking. Your WiFi will still work. The Ring doorbell won’t be connected to WiFi. It will be connected over wired ethernet to your network, though, so will act the same as a Ring doorbell connected to your WiFi.

That what I wanted to know but didn’t ask properly. Thank you!

It's creepy .. you a woman on her own ..having to knock for your parcels...its harassment.. I would log it with the police....sounds silly but something not right...

I wifi extender/booster is probably cheaper and easier if it will work, though!

Is he old? My neighbour in his 70’s makes up stuff and tells everyone my dog barks and cries when I am out. I set up a camera and he doesn’t! People are just weird, and bored!

He’s 30ish.

Make up a fake parcel with something
you found in the park then deny it is yours.
Just put "Thanks" or "I'll call again soon". Rice paper has a short lifespan but long enough to do the "job" He cannot complain if he takes it from your doorstep 👍🤣

Definitely go the the local police. What he's doing is tantamount to harrassment and possibly stalking. He needs to be warned off.

Call in person to your nearest police station and report you are on your own and finding his odd, creepy behaviour is making you uncomfortable and nervous. Ask if someone could come and have a quiet word with him - preferably a male officer as he clearly brakes no notice of a a female. Make it official.

I think you're right but I think lonely not creepy.

He tells everyone she isn’t in when she is. He’s a creep, a controlling creep.

I suggest you have your parcels sent somewhere else until the problem has been resolved. I actually have my parcels delivered to a local independant shop that takes in deliveries for people like me. The delivery people alert me where and when my parcel has arrived so I can then collect at my convenience.

You should literally put a sign in your door saying ‘don’t believe anything neighbour at no.24 says’

Nope, don’t call in. You’ll just waste your time.

there are no police officers at stations, they’re all out on jobs. Admin staff can’t help you.

101 or webchat. Someone will make you an appointment if necessary.

do you think the police has enough officers that they sit around at stations waiting for people to call in and report crime?

I have no idea what you mean by this?

fake parcel with something you found in the park? What, like a leaf? Why?

put “thanks” and “I’ll call again soon” where? On the parcel? Why?

what job is rice paper supposed to do?

what’s the complaint if he takes it from the doorstep? Why would he complain?

why deny it’s yours? Go round to the neighbours to collect the fake parcel just to deny it?

I’m lost. All I can see is you would make up a fake parcel, leave it on the doorstep, neighbour would take it to theirs and you’d never see it again. What’s the point?

Here's an idea. Read the OP.

Me neither. Doing stupid, childish stuff isn’t a good idea either with someone like this.

Here’s an idea.

Read the entire and discover she acknowledged her mistake and apologised.

I double checked and you would probably still need the Wi-Fi booster but the hardwire would make sure you wouldn't have to worry about the battery running out.

Ridiculous!!

Um you need to go to the police and report this. He might just be mental, but it could also be more sinister bordering on stalking or at least starting to do this. Of also let at least one of your neighbours and a friend know what's going on. Take it seriously.

Bit rich having a go at a poster not reading THE WHOLE THREAD, when Cherrysoup cba to read the opening post properly

It’s a very strange sort of harassment. If you know his name I would write a letter before action and post it to him registered delivery. I would also call the non emergency police line. That sounds dramatic but you never know how behaviour can escalate and you deserve to be happy and comfortable in your own home.

I think it’s quite sinister that he’s cooking up stories about what you’re doing at night, OP. I wonder if he has a police record. In your position I’d be trying to find out as much as possible about him.
