To write my neighbour a letter

They’re not a next door neighbour think number 85 and 65 type neighbours.

We’ve lived here 4.5 years, obviously in 2020 started walking lots. Noticed that on their front garden wall (the one which joins their garden to their next door neighbour) is a boot. A womens shoe. This was in 2020. The boot is still there.

WIBU to write an anonymous letter asking them what their intention is with this boot? It’s a black, suede ankle boot with a 2 inch heel. We only spotted it cos we thought it was a cat (lockdown led us to going cat spotting on our daily walks ffs).

Wtf? 😂

This sounds like my neighbours, they leave random objects in their front garden for weeks, the reason is they are lazy bastards

@DuckPancake

I'm so invested. Really want to see a picture. I wonder where the other boot is.
Hope this isn’t illegal or outing in some way 😂

@OutingHobby

No, I live in Islington. That’s what makes it weird Grin

My neighbour still has their Christmas decorations out at the front of their house. I think perhaps you and I should both be writing letters here!

Maaaan that was worse than Where's Wally to find!.... Perhaps it's some kind of code for others into the same thing (whatever it is!) 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Puzzledandpissedoff · 09/04/2022 22:32

Personally I'm with the idea of adding to it ... a slipper, a strappy stiletto, a welly boot, a baby shoe, whatever

With enough creatvity you could have a proper art installation there Wink

This is the weirdest thread I've read today. Why does someone having a boot on their wall bother you?

Bridie20 · 10/04/2022 12:09

Haha sorry had to be covert taking a picture!

Ooh yes I quite like this suggestion!
Blinkingheckythump · 10/04/2022 12:17

I'd add a new boot lol

It's clearly a placeholder while they save up for a stained mattress and/or sofa with the springs poking out.
