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.

Time to order something else and not be at home for delivery?Thinking kippers or Stinking Bishop, something like that..

Did the delivery peeps leave a note with you that the parcel had gone to NFH? If you have absolute proof that she has it and given that you've actually seen her since she took it in, I really would get the community police involved now to ask them to get it handed over. And I'd do that today if your friend can't get a result.

Just read both your parking threads and hoping your F, ? OPF = OPs Friend ? Will get the job done

Ooh my first girl crush! [flattered] I really think you have to outweird her to sort this OP then she will never dare mess with you again.

Yes go and tell NAR to warn him she might do the same to him and fingers crossed, he'll do his knight in shining armour impression, again.

Regardless of the outcome I think this neighbour has proven herself to be a highly deserving candidate for delivery of a Glitterbomb.

YES. Glitterbomb idea is fab.

Good luck getting your parcel back op!

Yay glitter bomb! That's the best idea yet!!!

One every day until she returns the parcel?

Well my friend has been and gone but unfortunately NDN wasn't in (car was gone too). I dis however catch NAR's wife and told her what had happened and she is shocked. She told me to ring the police too which I have done again but this time it was a different guy I spoke too and basically there is nothing I can do except ask the company for a refund. He said she was given the parcel she hadn't stolen it .

I think policeman was sadly right. You need to contact the retailer and explain the situation to them. They have not delivered the parcel to your address, and it is their job to recover the parcel from NDN.

It just seems so wrong. She wasn't given the parcel, she was asked to take it in safekeeping for the addressee, and it clearly isn't addressed to her.

She really is a piece of work.

Has your friend gone?

If not keep an eye out for NutJobs return and get your friend knocking on her door.

Any other gobby/tough nut friends you could invite around this weekend with the same plan in mind.

I'm shocked! It's just so wrong. Sometimes the law really is an ass

Time to phone the company, as you really want it for Saturday, and ask for a replacement asap. Get them to work out getting the original back from fartface and reimbursing you the cost once they have it. Can't think of any other way to go unless the company are particularly sympathetic to your cause.

Wottan absolute bitch!

Was it delivered by Royal Mail or a private courier? Isn't interfering with postal delivery meant to be a crime?

It IS a crime. The police officer you spoke to is wrong. Ring back.

Postal services act 2000, section 84

www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2000/26/section/84

I think the police are wrong in that there is nothing they can do...they just dont want to.

My Mum moved and informed Le Roudoute of her change of address, she ordered something it didnt arrive so re-ordered. What she didnt realise until later was that invoices were sent to her new address but the delivery went to her old one. In the meantime the woman at her old address started to order size 10 and baby stuff, nit my Mums size is.

She then had to query all this new stuff on her invoice, Le Roudout insisted she had had the stuff and she then had threatening letters from Royal Mail saying they would investigate her for fraud. She got the police involved herself and quite frankly they couldn't be bothered with it. They even admitted that there were Le Roudoute stuff on the coffee table

when they visited her old house

Sorry OP but I was hoping that wasn't the last we heard of crazy parking lady.

On a serious note though, you need to do something about this that shows you wont take this lying down. She is clearly retaliating after losing the parking battle and you need to make sure you win the war.

gosh, I remember your other thread. What a nutter!

ffs, sometimes I wonder what we pay taxes for - the police are wrong, and being lazy.

Theft definition: "A person is guilty of theft if he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it".

All the legal criteria of theft are met in this case. Your neighbour was dishonest in the appropriation since they signed for the parcel on the understanding that they would give it to you.... and they have not.

I previously posted re: the intention to permanently deprive - and everything suggests that this is her intention - how many opportunities has she had to give the parcel to you now?

My only query would be whether the victim of the theft is you, or the supplier - it's one or the other.

And Grantaire suggests another perfectly reasonable legal angle re: postal interference.

I would go back to the police and specify why you believe it's theft, and ask them to explain why is is not, with reference to the Theft Act.

marking my place x

Nanny - just had a read back - have you told crazy NDN yet that you plan to involve the police?

It might be just what's needed to prise the parcel from her greedy gnarly witch-like be-clawed fingers.
