To want my leg of lamb back?

Whacky neighbour strikes again.

She is a nice woman. A bit eccentric.

She saw a dog roaming the estate and thought it was mine. It wasn't. She panicked, she said, and reached for my door and went in, shouting my name

My actual dog, a very low prey drive GH, approached her wagging. Luckily, he didn't see her as a threat and harm her.

My neighbour said she panicked then and tried a dog treat but the roaming dog wasn't interested. She then went into my fridge and got out a LEG OF LAMB 😒

She is seen on video camera attached to the house, waving down the dog with the leg of lamb in hand, waving it like she is in Ollivander's wand shop

The dog wonders off elsewhere and she's seen again throwing the leg of lamb into the nearby hedges.

AIBU to want it back or paid for? Or is she too unhinged to ask this? Not sure what to do. She has posted a picture of the dog on the estate FB group. No claims for the dog yet... who on footage and in her photo, is not a GH. It's very clearly a tiny terrier type 🙄

As I say, she is a really friendly neighbour but somewhat OTT, dramatic and loud. She has a 19 year old daughter who is lovely. And a polite and very normal 15 year old son. Both nothing like her loud and overly familiar ways

My door was left open by me as I had run 3 doors down to give my lovely neighbour some bits I was passing onto her

I have no idea why she would lie or try and enter my house. She genuinely looked like she was trying to get the dog

Yeah whose short story was that?

Roald Dahl
'Lamb to the Slaughter' in his book 'Switch Bitch'

Ah yes thank you. It never seems like Dahl to me for some reason.

Never convinced by him as an adult writer, too clumsy and he owes far far too much to HH Munroe /Saki who wiped the floor with him as a short story writer and for sang froid bizarre.
Always shocked at his obvious plagiarism of style.
