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 think you should hold a German Themed Street Party this weekend NannyPlum! Invite NAR and FONAR and everyone else including Nut Job.

Lots of party games - perhaps Pass the Parcel - everyone has to bring a parcel!

Seriously - what an absolute cowbag! I would go around today and knock. Sod the "dont want to give the satisafction of begging". She will surely get pissed off if you keep knocking and have to answer at some point!

Also - pop a note through her door. Simple and polite asking for it back. That way she will never have the comeback - that she forgot or didnt realise it was for you or any other bullshit she may try to come up with!

Seriously beitou sounds like normal run of the mill NDN stuff to me.
But thinking about it, give OP back her parcel beitou!

Well I've got a refund and brought a different present for tomorrow. She can keep the jumper, I'm not going to give her the satisfaction of begging for it. It's no use to her I don't think as its in a very different size to her. Just going to remember to write on every parcel I ever order don't deliver to number 23 she's crazy!

Have you told the suppliers what happened to the original? It would be good to think they might start threatening neighbour with legal proceedings or prosecuting her for theft.

I would visit the sorting office and speak to the Manager there, personally as I did when my neighbour stole my parcels. None of my post went to her address again.

I know this wasn't Royal Mail but cover all bases.

So pleased you've had a refund and your friend can have a present on saturday (even if it's not the one you originally chose)

NFH doesn't know this, of course and still thinks she's, illegally and spitefully,, holding on to something she believes you want. Let her, ramp it up. Keep knocking her door, shower her doormat with notes like confetti,....

My couriers always take a pic of the house they've left my parcels at, spect yours did similar so the supplier knows it's there?

Agree that the p.o.and your suppliers must be told that on no account deliver to her.

But now that you've had a refund and bought a replacement, let's organize this street party, eh?

Love the idea of pass the parcel and perhaps a musical chairs-type game? Lots of towels with a german flag painted on them. We need a park the car type game, sure someone can provide little cars and paint house numbers on them. Or perhaps it could be like bowls, with her no.the target and the one who can get theirs closest wins? Something like this?

sounds like normal run of the mill NDN stuff to me.

You must have had some crap neighbours!!

The definition of "theft" is "A person is guilty of theft if he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it" (Theft Act 1968)

Technically, she is a thief and you could probably do with calling the police back and just gently quoting the above...

Alternately, write the above done on a piece of paper, tell her she has 24 hours to return to sender or give it back to you or you will be pursuing criminal proceedings

Don't let her get away with it ! Honestly involve the police. It is theft.

So you got a refund.

Happy ending. I would just leave things now. Do some voluntary work if you have free time rather than be a crusader.

I find that a little rude antumbra.

Nobody wants to read about voluntary work antumbra!

I say go with the old paper bag of shit set on fire on her doorstep, Nannyplum

^ what she said

Have you read while thread antibra? Op has had her property stolen by mad neighbour as well as anti social behaviour.

I have read the thread. OP ordered something and did not receive it. THe supplier rightly refunded. All this talk of paper bags on the doorstep is ridiculous.

It's no big deal.

Antumbra there is more going on with the neighbour than just this parcel. Whole other thread about parking and many many others in RL (never mind how many on here!) support how mad the neighbour is. The op is in dreadful neighbour hell...

antibra autocorrect I assume made me snort

Antumbra - foul, rude, unhelpful, spiteful neighbours ARE a big deal. This woman (if you have followed the other threads) is not just holding onto the parcel because she feels like owning a jumper - this is about power and spite (and the neighbour's narcissistic personality). OP came on here to get advice, not to hear 'holier than thou' comments from clever dicks people like you.

Well done OP. I suggest you put a clear (typed?) note on your front door saying 'do not leave parcels at Number 23 as she doesn't give them to me'. Fact.

I reckon Antumbra is the neighbour

Can I suggest your typed note says 'do not leave parcels at number 23 because she's a nasty little thief'. It's true so what can she do about it? I'd make my note massive so everyone can read it...

That would make sense arkestra cos none of us get out much

Put an ad local paper

Slander, though. Note must say 'do not leave parcels at 23 for legal reasons' sadly, for us voyeurs.
