An update on the earlier thread.

Would that be the lower or upper field?

Utterly baffled!

I know I'm sleep-deprived & rendered a bit brain-squiggled by absurd amount of [partial] joint dislocations since yesterday afternoon (am basically staying as still as possible now... not that that'll stop my ridiculous body, but it should slow it down a bit); but I suspect much of this still wouldn't make sense were I not.

Hope the horses stay safe OP; & good luck with CF-crafter.

There’s a problem with the drainage in the lower field so it won’t be there.

For once, I actually know what's going on. It's a miracle!

Hi All,

Big update! We are usually away out this time on a Sunday to do some visiting, shopping and errands.

We didn't want too this week as it's started snowing and we don't want to get the car stuck anywhere.

Husband is out and about and rang to say a little car parked outside the gate, a woman jumped out and jumped over the gate and he is running over to meet her before she got to the stable before him.

I nearly broke a leg tripping over the dog trying to get out and over. By the time I arrived a whole fight had started.

He had met her before she got to the stable so, she hadn't seen that her belongings were missing. She was furious we put a lock on the gate so she can't get her car in. I was worried she had come to lift her things but, she said she came to get a couple of boxes of fabric. This infuriated my husband as she obviously had no intention to remove her things and we are only seeing her now because she knows we go away on Sundays!!! Hmm

She made her way to the front of the stable and seen that it was now full of horses instead of boxes. She asked where the boxes were and we said that it was empty when we moved the horses in so we assumed she lifted it all. She said that was very funny as everything, including her lock, was here last week.

Cue the most awkward moment of my life where she stared straight through me for a good 2 minutes.

She absolutely lost it. Came right up to me and into my face and said that we would pay for whatever was missing and we have obviously dumped it all Blush

My husband shouted at her to leave immediately and to get off the property. She's stormed off now and we have both been sitting in the house in silence for a while a bit shocked.

Don't know what will happen next but, at least she knows now the items aren't here.

Fuck! That's quite an apocalyptic update. Are you Ok?

Eve · 04/02/2018 12:22

I would report to 101 so if she escalates you have raised it.

ohfourfoxache · 04/02/2018 12:24

Holy fuck Shock

You need a huge, sweet cuppa. Are you ok?

AnachronisticCorpse · 04/02/2018 12:25

Please remember that you have done nothing wrong. You have taken ownership of a property in good faith. She had no rights to keep her things there and this is entirely her fault. You were courteous enough to let her know you would need the space in good time and she chose to ignore that. What did she think would happen?

She should have made other arrangements as soon as the previous owner died.

CandleWithHair · 04/02/2018 12:25

Ooh OP, I feel like this isn’t going to be the end of it. Are you considering some proper legal advice?

DrRanjsRightEyebrow · 04/02/2018 12:26

I wouldn't be the first to report. You will have to tell police you dumped it and if she then finds that out via police it might unhinge her. For now you have an element of doubt in her mind as to what happened but that will be gone as soon as police are involved.

safariboot · 04/02/2018 12:29

Enjoy your neighbour dispute.

SoupDragon · 04/02/2018 12:32

you have an element of doubt in her mind as to what happened

There is no element of doubt in her mind. It is completely obvious that the OP has dumped the stuff.

SoupDragon · 04/02/2018 12:35

(Personally I’m feeling rather nauseous at the thought of all that lovely sewing stuff being at the dump!)

flumpybear · 04/02/2018 12:35

The neighbour has no bloody right to store stuff in a private property - she was given loads of notice, essentially she abandoned it - personally I'd go to the police, tell them what happened and that you gave her loads of time to move her stuff, she didn't say either way if she's move it or not, she needed a home for her horses, any thing left in the stables would be in the way and may damage the horses

DrRanjsRightEyebrow · 04/02/2018 12:36

Oh me too. I know my very basic (but pro) machine cost me nearly a grand, and fabric is bloody pricey, so it's likely several thousands of pounds worth... but she shouldn't have been such a CF.

sexnotgender · 04/02/2018 12:39

Wow she's a total loon! Such a shame that your stable got broken into and all her stuff got stolen.

Hope your horses are ok.

flumpybear · 04/02/2018 12:41

Cf: policeman, they must have thrown out my stuff
Police: where was your stuff
Cf: in their property
Police: why
Cf: we had an arrangement with the previous owners
Police: do you have a new agreement with the new owners
Cf: no
Police: have you spoken to the new neighbours and what did they say
Cf: they said I needed to move it within about 1-2 months
Police: oh I see so they moved it early before you had a chance to move it?
Cf: no, I'm not giving up a rent free place to keep all my shut, what you expect me to keep it in MY house or PAY for somewhere to leave my stuff - no, I had a promise from a complete stranger to my new neighbours which they have to honour
Police: eerrrrr so they have you a month or two to move your crap and you didn't bother and now it's gone because they want to use their own property for their own reasons
Cf: yes
Police: you're a cheeky fucker! next ......

Motoko · 04/02/2018 12:42

I expect you'll get a letter from her solicitor next. If you haven't already, (and if not, why not?) I think it would be wise to get legal advice. I would have contacted my conveyancing solicitor as soon as the stuff was found in the stables. It would have been down the the deceased's executors to make sure it was all cleared before you moved in.

TeeniefaeTroon · 04/02/2018 12:42

We bought a repossessed house that had all of the previous owners stuff in it. When we moved in we dumped it all. A month later the previous owners contacted us to ask for their belongings. Their stuff became ours once we purchased the house do there's nothing they could do. We even removed two cars from our driveway too.
