Neighbour won't give me my parcel!

[Nannyplum2015]

I've problems with this neighbour before over parking.

She's had a parcel of mine since Wednesday last week and I know she is in but she is refusing to open the door. Wibu if I knocked the door down? It's a present I need to give to someone on Saturday.

I'm sure it's against the law to interfere with the mail isn't it? Report it missing to the supplier/delivery service - and make sure your parcels never go there again!

OMG Is it the crazy parking woman (that ended up being blocked in?)

You're never going to get it back.

Make sure all future deliveries expressly state " do no deliver to crazy neighbour at number 13"

As a last ditch you could pop a note through if she's not answering and ask her to return your parcel before you contact police/management company/headteacher (none of which will care but it may just prompt her to return it)

Shout through the door that you'll get the police round and do her for theft. Alternatively, send over bloke across the road that parked in her space to do it. Oh, and make sure the postie never gives her a parcel again.

Oh no! I remember your parking issues Nanny! Can NAR or FONAR help this time?
If you don't want to go the direct roue, could you contact the people you ordered the item from and tell them what has happened? They may re-send the item?

Just keep continually knocking until she answers the door

What even happened at the end of that thread?

Are you sure she is in? Are you sure it's with that neighbour (only because a delivery driver left a note for me before and counted the wrong way on our street - I'm asking for it 17, they are denying it, turns out it's at 21)

Put a note through the door asking her to return your property or you will have to start a claim via the delivery company who have left a note saying it's with her.

Next time you order anything make sure you say not to leave it with said neighbour.

cross posted and can see you have previous with this lady nanny
Parcel being at another house seems unlikely then

It's against the law for her to withhold your parcel. Put a note through to say so. Ask the postman to ask for it back if able to

What a moron. It's theft, report it to police to get parcel back. All further deliveries to explicitly state not to deliver to crazy lady neighbour....

(BTW how do you know she definitely has it?)

Finger held on doorbell until she opens in desperation?
Or shout through the letterbox "if you do not give me my parcel back immediately you bloody weirdo I will be taking action legally to get my property back".
Bonkers.

So, winding it back, she accepted the parcel from yr postman and is now pretending she's not at home to hand it over? That right? Yr postman's confirmed?

Is her car in/outside her garage round the back? (Yes, I remember the details!) any chance that she's really not there?

I'd alternate between me and DH going over and knocking and knocking and knocking until she answered.
I remember the parking thread so it is bloody bad luck that she got the parcel.

OP, do you think she's using this as payback for the endless knocking she did at NAR's house?

Anyway, I'd pop a note thru the door asking nicely for the parcel, and keep knocking relentlessly for now.

But I would also contact the people you ordered from stating that you haven't received it.

She's not doing herself any favours though, no-ones going to be taking parcels in for her are they

Oh she is the neighbour that just keeps giving. Sorry OP but my day just got a lot brighter.

As everyone else says call the company, can you try and catch your postie in the morning, maybe he can knock and ask for it back, send your own personal diet coke man (NAR) over to deal with her or alternatively (and I know this is shunned now on MN) I would call 111. It is illegal to steal or tamper with someones post. Obviously this one after all else fails.

Pop a bite through the doir 'may i have my parcel within the next few hours, i have piif you took it, otherwise I will have no chouce but to repirt you to the authorities'. Report her to the Royal Mail, ring 101 for advise (and perhaps your local mental health team - I read the other thread, this lady is narnas).

Pop a note through the door - please don't bite! Stupid phone, condoning violence .

Oh joy! Sweet sweet joy!

Tell her if she gives you the parcel, then you'll let her park in your space.

Then deny it

Call 101 - it's theft, isn't it? If you're very lucky and it's a slow day, they might even come along with you to knock again...

Failing that, can you speak to your postman when they next come, show the card (is it royal mail?) and ask him/her to knock for it back?

Last resort, if you're brave enough - enlist NAR, get him to park one side of her and you the other, note through the door - 'will swap you access to your car for my parcel'.

I wouldn't ring 111 unless you need medical help for the stress it's causing...

You could ring 101 and speak to the police though!

She really is a pain in the arse. If you have a ticket with it stating it was left with her I would report her to the lick police for theft.

Local police I'm sure they won't lick her.

OMG - this is mad crazy parking woman isnt it???

You need to see NAR and see if she is holding parcels of his as well!

Seriously if it is the same woman this is comfirmation that she is the nut job we all thought she was.

I would pop a note through her door explaining that delivery company have confirmed they delivered the parcel to her on such a date and could she let you have it within the next 24 hours. If she ignores knock then post another nite(assuming she does not open the door) that you know she has been in but responding for your requests and failiure to return the parcel to you within the next 24 hours will mean you have no option than to report her for theft! Or words to that effect!

She really is a pain in the fucking arse by the sound of it!

Love, love,love sylvanians solution

Tell you what tho...any notes through her door, mark them clearly with the time delivered-and make copies. Just in case..
