So, here's a good one for you. I live in a block of 12 flats and had to replace my 55" Samsung TV. The courier was scheduled to deliver the new one and pick up the broken one. A text message referred to a one-person delivery by Nicole. To help out, I carried the TV down to the foyer, which requires a door code to enter, and left it there for about 20 minutes.
When the (two male 🙄) couriers arrived, my TV was gone! I asked neighbours if they had seen anyone take it. No one had. The couriers needed me to let their management know there was nothing to pick up. I had to pay £35 for the recycling and disposal!
Spoke to other neighbours, and they were horrified. They said to file a police report and inform building management. I did both. Five hours later, the TV was back! Apparently, the thief who is clearly a resident in this block of 12 units returned it after realising it was broken. 🤦♀️ There was no visible damage at all and we've only had it 9 months. Surely they thought they were in for a treat!
I wrote a note and taped it to the TV:
> "FAO the person who earlier stole this TV. A police report was filed. The building management has been informed. The courier company came to collect for £35 and couldn't collect it for disposal. You are now responsible for arranging its disposal. Thank you."
Then, I wrote to property management saying that whoever stole the TV took possession of it and is now responsible for its disposal.
AIBU to expect the thief to now handle the disposal, considering they stole it?
TL;DR: Thief stole my broken TV, realised it was broken, returned it, and now I want them to handle its disposal. AIBU?
