Neighbour won't give me my parcel!

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 agree she's baiting you and as you've had a refund, don't give her the satisfaction of rising to it. I know the jumper was a present for your friend, but I'd be tempted to buy another in your size and make sure she sees you in it lots so she knows you're not missing the one she stole.

Let her see her behaviour hasn't bothered you. Then order the maggots!

At the very very least please take a photo.

Even if you do nothing with that photo for now, just take it and file it with your log of NutJobs antics.

You do realise that she is so fucked up that this is not the last thing she is going to do to piss you off. This is just the start I think of a long term anti social neighbour issue.

You need to start keeping records and a log of everything this nutjob does.

So even if you do not intend to take this further anymore with regard to the jumper or parcel, just take the photo in case you need to build a case against her in the future and need every scrap of evidence going.

I can understand not wanting to react to the silly cow and show her any reaction but not to do anything when she is waving the evidence in your face, would be foolish. Its about safeguarding yourself for the future as we can only guess what else she has in store for you and your neighbours!

Its a shame its Spring - my idea of revenge would be to plant daffodil bulbs in the shape of a penis on her front lawn!

I love the idea of a glitterbomb. That shit goes everywhere, she'll be finding it for months on end.

thewomaninwhite · 31/03/2015 14:11

Unfeckingbelievable. Truly. The woman is quite frankly something else. I agree re photo. Glitter is tempting!

Well I've photographed it and will email it later to the company. I'm thinking of ordering a glitter bomb too but I think they could fit it through my letter box! Unless it's signed for?

Haha you order the glitter for her house. It's all anonymous!!

swazza · 31/03/2015 14:23

Send a Glitterbomb to her - A welcome to our community Glitter Bomb so she can feel the love of her neighbours!! [Grin]

Or even better - end her a glitterbomb with Neighbour of the Year Award!

Perhaps treating her with gushiness may be the way to go! [Grin] she will probably relish the attention as she is obviously lacking something in her life!

murmuration · 31/03/2015 14:27

While sending her the glitter bomb sounds nice in fantasy, right now you have the moral high ground, so don't lose it.

Sending yourself one, on the other hand...

Nightingalemumoftwo · 31/03/2015 14:34

camp outside and wait until she comes out. Silly cow.

Phephenson · 31/03/2015 14:34

OMG, I go away fro a few days and parcel gate rumbles on!! I cannot believe the bloody cheek of your neighbour. I hope you've got a picture - send it to the retailer. Don't be baited into trespassing to retrieve it.

Send a dog poo in the post Grin

Lemondrizzletwunt · 31/03/2015 14:45

Can you post the picture here? Pleeeeease?

This is the neighbour that just keeps giving I mean, poor you, OP Grin

Jacana · 31/03/2015 14:46

What am I missing here, what does the retailer have to do with it?Confused

It's theft. Get the non-emergency police around please and stop her nonsense right now.Angry

TheWitTank · 31/03/2015 14:50

It's definitely a trap. She's either filming or watching the jumper hoping you trespass in her garden. Don't touch it. Take some photos and call the police non emergency number to report her for theft. She clearly has some kind of vendetta after the parking incident and I would steer well clear -she wants a reaction.

murmuration · 31/03/2015 14:53

At this point it is theft from the retailer -- they have refunded OP for the lost sweater, and so it is their sweater, unpurchased, that she has.

Donthate · 31/03/2015 14:57

I would call the police and explain the whole situation, unless of course you own your own house and want to move any time soon.

I can't believe this is still going on

Jacana · 31/03/2015 15:21

nanny is her place a H.A./Council let? If so I'd get them round, go through all the back story with them, and I'm sure they'd issue an ASBO against her. tenants have been given them round here for less, in fact they get scattered round the 'hood like glitterconfettiGrin ours only get one chance, another and they're out..

I understand about the retailer bit, don't understand the reluctance to involve the authorities. Again, this is theft. Neighbour is a thief.

CarbeDiem · 31/03/2015 15:27

I must've led a sheltered life as I'm actually gobsmacked reading this. (I haven't, I've known some real A-holes in my time) but I just can't get over the fact someone would actually do this.
The parking was one thing but to steal an item then display it on the washing line just beggars belief. What is she thinking?

I really feel for you op and I highly doubt this will be the last problem that you will have with your neighbour - she really is something else.

Ohfourfoxache · 31/03/2015 15:50

The trouble is that she could turn round and say that she bought the same jumper and that it was all just a "coincidence" Hmm

So involving the retailer/police etc, although it is the right thing to do, realistically it probably won't make any difference.

SquareTheCircle · 31/03/2015 15:56

yes but she'd be able to prove it by way of a receipt/bank statement…?

Jacana · 31/03/2015 16:02

A police car pitching up outside hers would concentrate her scrambled brains mind beautifully, tho.

Cow. Thieving cow.

JessieMcJessie · 31/03/2015 16:06

Did you actually tell the retailer that you knew she had it and would not give it to you? If you just told them it had never arrived you don't want to now reveal that you knew all along it was with your neighbour. They won't do anything anyway. Better to tell the police.

SquareTheCircle · 31/03/2015 16:06

Of course, the other thing is that there are loads of us on here. We could each send her five 'Janet and Roy' postcards. Nothing malicious. Just an annoying amount of post to get. Promising to drop in when we are in her neck of the woods. She'd never want post again. Ever!

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 31/03/2015 16:07

The brass neck of her!!!
