I posted on here Wednesday about my neighbour knocking on my door and accusing me off stealing her parcel, unfortunately it ended in me ring in the police.
She has just been round this morning with a massive bunch of Flowers and a sorry card.
Turns out royal mail investigation thy have asked the driver where he took it and it was took to 61 but the person that lives there is flat denied he has it. The manger of royal mail paid him a visit this morning but he still didn't hand It over, there going to pay her compensation.
But i thought that was very nice off her she couldn't apologize enough

I'd definitely be staying well clear of her...serious mood swings going on there. On day she is banging on your door, her DH is banging on your door so much so that you have to call the police about it...then they show up with flowers thinking that will sort it out.

I'll pass.

Glad it's sorted! I commented on your other thread. Like other posters have said, glad it's over, but giver her a wide berth. I once had a crazy neighbour, and honestly; had I ever wrote on here the stunts she pulled on me I think the good people of MN would have thought I was a troll. Upshot, from someone who has been down that rabbit hole, if you pass her in the street, just smile and don't engage.

ASDismynormality · 30/06/2017 16:12

I'd still stay out of her way!

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 30/06/2017 16:12

If the driver took it number 61 (even if that person denies it) how come she was so convinced it was you at number 69?

RideOn · 30/06/2017 16:22

It is right to come round and say you got it wrong, so fair play.

But I still would avoid her (and her post) whenever possible.

TheHodgeoftheHedge · 30/06/2017 16:37

Really glad she's apologised but wow, she's a nutter.

ImperfectTents · 30/06/2017 17:04

It would be hilarious though if you are tidying up some day in the future and find the parcel lurking
Under a coat or something

It'd be too little, too late for me. Anyone who acted in such a way that the police warranted being called isn't someone I'd want anything to do with, ever.

louisejxxx · 01/07/2017 03:22

I would've told her to fuck off after the stress she called, but that's just me.

What a loon.

Well, you have learned that the people at number 89 are barking mad and the resident at number 61 may be an opportunistic thief - local knowledge, you can't beat it. Grin

That wouldn't happen in my street as we're all really good friends as well as neighbours and look out for each other.
Maybe we should all start getting to know our neighbours a bit better.

KingJoffreysRestingCuntface · 01/07/2017 04:32

Maybe she only deals in extremes?

Death threats and flowers?

LakieLady · 01/07/2017 07:33

I've never thought of myself as a particularly forgiving person, but I'd give her a second chance.

Her response to the missing parcel was completely OTT, but she had been told Royal Mail and another neighbour that OP had her parcel. It may have been something she really needed urgently, which would explain why she was so riled up.

I think it takes some guts to apologise like that. And she's probably really, really embarrassed.

MagentaRocks · 01/07/2017 07:48

Royal Mail didn't tell her it had been delivered the the op. They told her it had been delivered to her own address. The neighbour decided that it had gone to the op. The neighbour saw a delivery being made and the op proved she had her own delivery - she still got abuse.

Glad she said sorry though.

kmc1111 · 01/07/2017 18:48

The kind of person who flies into a rage at a neighbour because it's possible they took in her parcel is also exactly the kind of person who could show their face and apologise afterwards. It's two sides of the same deranged coin. She wasn't embarrassed about acting like a lunatic, so apologising for it wasn't embarrassing either. These things aren't hard or brave if you can't feel shame.

Avoid like the plague.

Clutterbugsmum · 01/07/2017 20:25

I'm glad she has apologised, but there would be know I would accept any delivery for her.
