AIBU to return the massive stash of porn I just found in the house I just bought?

Just moved into a house, it has been a feat of endurance not made easier by the extremely uncooperative seller. The family wanted to exchange early, set a date to move that was extremely inconvenient. We made arrangements to move on that day, called in favours and spent money to move on that day and then they changed it to a day four days later that was even more inconvenient. They knew we were desperate to move and took advantage.

So we moved in today and when we were going round the house we found a huge stash of frankly filthy porn in the fitted wardrobe of the bedroom that was occupied by the 12 year old son.

I have just had a text off the estate agent saying that the seller has left a le creuset pot in the oven and could we leave it with a neighbour for them to collect. AIBU to put the le creuset pot in a box surrounded by the porn videos and leave it at the neighbors?

Do it! If I were you, I’d decoupage the bloody pot in it.

BananasAreTheSourceOfEvil · 29/05/2018 21:13

Only unreasonable if you dont use the le creuset pot to cook the more offensive porn first Grin

MissTulipan · 29/05/2018 21:13

I would definitely do that!

LaContessaDiPlump · 29/05/2018 21:13

Do it. Leave a note saying "I believe these belong to you as well - we'd rather not keep them, thanks".

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 29/05/2018 21:15

I'd bag the porn up and hand it them definitely. Fuckers.

ZibbidooZibbidooZibbidoo · 29/05/2018 21:16

Porn videos? Really? Who even has a VCR anymore?

travellinglighter · 29/05/2018 21:23

I suspect that the husband has stashed them in a place where the young lad couldn’t reach a few years ago and forgotten them. I have told the estate agent who was in stitches and I was going to ask my solicitor to send a note to the sellers solicitor asking what they wanted doing with the porn. This seems like a better plan.

Oh I thought you meant they were the 12 year olds!

VanillaSugar · 29/05/2018 21:25

Oh yes - the solicitors note!!! Our sellers have left skanky loo brushes, bath mats and a mouldy old wooden rocking horse in the garden.

TheShapeOfEwe · 29/05/2018 21:26

Definitely do it!!!

SevenStones · 29/05/2018 21:28

DO IT!

travellinglighter · 29/05/2018 21:29

The 12 year old was short for his age and couldn’t have reached the top shelf where the vids were stashed. Hubby was a shift worker and on permanent nights. He had a lock on the inside of the main bedroom door that would guarantee privacy for any (cough cough) private activity.

Definitely send the solicitors note Grin

LeggyLinda · 29/05/2018 21:32

YABU.
But I would do the same :)

travellinglighter · 29/05/2018 21:34

New plan, I’m going to hand the porn to the neighbors and send a note via the solicitor to confirm that the le creuset has been returned along with x number of videos listed by name. 😂

DailyMailFail101 · 29/05/2018 21:36

Definitely do that!

IsMyUserNameRubbish · 29/05/2018 21:37

Oh yes definitely give it back, how embarrassing for them, and if it isn't, I'd make it so.

Itchytights · 29/05/2018 21:37

Oh please do it GrinGrin

Angie169 · 29/05/2018 21:38

I would do it too I would also search the house for ANYTHING that may be theirs, that old button yep , the rusty washer yep , the hair grip yep the pound coin ooohh no that is def mine lol
all In a bag to the neighbour , when you drop it of say oohh you would not believe what they left behind , then walk of all Wink ' I know something you dont know ,
they are bound to have a look and with any luck tell the guy you bought the house off what a perv he is Grin Grin

PercyPigAddict · 29/05/2018 21:40

Personally I'd let them know you found it but I'd chuck it away - let him forever regret not retrieving his favourite stash before he left!

Sharkwithknees · 29/05/2018 21:41

You are being a bit unreasonable. But fook yes, absolutely do it Grin this thread has give me a good laugh!

Tawdrylocalbrouhaha · 29/05/2018 21:42

The important thing is to wear gloves while handling the porn. And still wash your hands afterwards.

Gross.

UpstartCrow · 29/05/2018 21:44

I'd draw on it first.

PestymcPestFace · 29/05/2018 21:45

Is there still food in the le creuset pot?

Charolais · 29/05/2018 21:48

I would say nothing and just throw the material away. I can’t understand your need to embarrass and potentially cause problems. I guess some people need nasty little dramas in their lives.
