Absolutely fuming- nappy in my garden

[WildImaginings]

I've just bought my first house.
The new house is 4 streets away from where I'm currently living (with parents) so I know the area pretty well. It's not considered a particularly 'nice' area, but I was born in this town and I love it.
I don't know anyone on the street personally as such, but recognise a few faces from the town centre.
I'm extremely lucky to have family who have been helping me out, and I've been there most nights after work helping out as much as I can (not particularly good with DIY!)
The garden (this is important) is quite long, but most of the end is taken up by a large old garage. Along the bottom of the garden there is a lane, with secure alley gates. To get to the back gate you have to walk down a path alongside the shed. So the patio part of the garden is in front of the garage, and quite far away from the lane.
I went out into the garden tonight to be faced by a bloody shitty nappy in a nappy bag on the patio. My puppy (who has never been to the house before) was immediately on it, trying to rip it open. This has clearly been thrown over the wall- and because of where it was situated, it's very likely to have come from the neighbours garden. I don't know if they have children, so I'm aware it's entirely likely that a visitor with a baby could have done this without their knowledge. It was too far away from the lane to have been thrown, and the lady on the side is very elderly and doesn't have many visitors (had a lovely chat with her over the wall last week).
I don't have a bin, as I've not moved in- just recycling. So I had to carry it, 4 streets to my Mums to dispose of it.
I'm obviously not going to say anything to the neighbours or anyone, I'm just bloody disgusted and needed to vent. I don't have children. I love children, and have changed many a nappy but it doesn't mean I'm happy to pick one up from my fucking garden. Even if I did have children, it wouldn't have been my responsibility to get rid of someone else's nappy!
I know this sounds so trivial, but I've been feeling really positive about moving in, and have saved extremely hard, in a low paying job in order to be able to afford a deposit for a house. I have been very down lately with various issues in work and in my personal life, and I'm so pissed off that I've let something this stupid get me so upset when I was feeling so positive.
Why are some people so foul?!

We hardly ever go into our garden. When we did we found about 20 newborn nappies near the fence where they happened to have a newborn baby!

Now I am all for making allowances but this was just too obvious and nasty.

DP may well have had a couple of drinks one Saturday night, and unbeknown to me, went out and threw them back.

Not a jot of trouble since!

this is the person who shouted 'oi fat cunt' across the fence at me once before too

I think if you know where it came from, throw it back, if not, chill out, it was just a random thing!

Congrats on your new house - I'm sure this will be a one off. My friend once found a tin of spam in her garden for no apparent reason

I'd say a fox as well, but if not this will more than likely be a one off, I wouldn't let it spoil your enjoyment of the new house. Just put it to the back of your mind, don't over think it. Good luck in your new house.

My cats are always bloody taking nappies out of bins. My money is on a cat

The next-door neighbor to our first house literally stole our porch mat on our first night there! It had been left for us by the previous owner. When I asked the neighbor he just shrugged and said they assumed it was okay to take it.

It really bothered me at the time, but now it is just a story! As yours will become.

Congrats on your new home.

Might it have come from an upstairs window next door?

I knew someone whose DH used to fling bagged nappies out of the bedroom window because he was too lazy to walk down to the bin. Once a day he'd pop into the garden and gather them up.

Maybe your neighbour has a similar habit and mis-aimed?

Foxes or silly child messing around.

If they'd wanted to make a point about you they wouldn't have bothered with the bag on the nappy would they?

G1veMeStrength- I'm chuckling at the tin of spam!

This thread reminds me of my dad.
He used to play golf and, when working round the garden, if he was using something long and thin he'd take an imaginary golf ball and practice his golf swing, ending with shading his eyes to watch the imaginary ball sailing straight down the middle.
One day I was outside on the grass when he was sweeping up the cuttings from the rose bushes. He finished, bagged the cuttings up, and came back to put the brush away.
True to form he lined himself up with the brush, and did a full swing and shaded his eyes to see the not so imaginary brush head sailing over the conifers into the house behind's garden.
His face as he turned to look down at his brush handle was so funny, probably the funniest thing I have ever seen.

He never dared go and ask for it back from the neighbours.
But I always imagine the discussions on how this large brush head got there.
