To find this weird...

Got an envelope pushed through the door just now and in it was a ring. Not a particularly expensive one not that it matters. It didn't look new. On the envelope it had a phone number inside but it was not written, sort of stuck on numbers. I am a bit wtf to be honest. What's that all about?!

Have you googled the phone number?

jelly79 · 22/10/2019 22:33

That's really weird.

What type of ring? Are you going to call the number? Do you have a partner? Could be the wrong house?

wineisnecessary · 22/10/2019 22:34

Must of put it through the wrong house , ring the number.

PumpkinP · 22/10/2019 22:35

Weird agree with googling it. I had two keys posted through my door a little while back. Not my door keys and no note!

FloatingObject · 22/10/2019 22:37

We needs pics. Could be someone returning a ring and getting the wrong house but... stuck on numbers?!

Pomegranatee · 22/10/2019 22:37

I'd be a bit cautious of ringing the number. Could be a way to determine who lives at what house i.e lone female, elderly etc.

Ooh this is weird, I loved threads like this.. can you post a picture of the stuck on numbers (maybe obscure 1 or 2)

IndieTara · 22/10/2019 22:40

We need pictures

Jojowash · 22/10/2019 22:42

What happened?? 😯

Call number!

BuildBuildings · 22/10/2019 22:42

That's really weird. Don't ring it without withholding your number.

You have a stalker that wants to marry you.

I called the number (Blocked my number ) and a man answered. He was as Wtf as me. Very odd indeed 😕

Do any neighbours have CCTV or a Ring door bell?

Hmmm, that is really odd! Who do you live with?

Dollymac · 22/10/2019 23:01

Ooohhh love a good mystery!

The obvious message is to Ring this Number but it looks like that didn’t shed any light on the matter. Unless you and phone man are both single and a secret common friend is trying to set you up ...

Maybe it’s a secret code not a phone number. It is a proper ring (silver or gold) or more like costume jewellery? Does the ring fit?

RosesAndLilies · 22/10/2019 23:09

Strange!!

LuluBellaBlue · 22/10/2019 23:11

Need a pic please!!

I don't know how to block parts of it out as obviously a full number would not be appropriate to post. The ring is like a cubic zirconia type one so not expensive. Fairly small but adult sized.

Wheat2Harvest · 22/10/2019 23:19

Is it definitely a phone number? Could it possibly be a number re something else, like a repair docket number?

It does sound as if it has been delivered to you by mistake.

TheMobileSiteMadeMeSignup · 22/10/2019 23:20

Aww why does a fun thread start just as I'm going to bed?!

Branster · 22/10/2019 23:21

Like a Cinderella story!
Daydreaming or wrong letterbox aside, this could be really weird.
