What have people left at your door? And have you ever discovered who it's from?

the postman

God, you're lucky. We get a note through the door and have to make a 20 mile round trip.

In my old house we got left one of those vehicles of yesteryear kind of dinky toy things in a box. At first we thought it was a promotion thing from the milk man but when we asked neither he nor the postman knew anything about it, a bit strange!

Well then the question is very unclear and no doubt ought to have said "What unexpected items have been left at your door by persons unknown and have you ever susbequently discovered who thsoe persons were?" bahahaha

A huge bouquet of flowers when DD1 was born, addressed only to me with the message "with lots of love". No name. Rang florist and they refused to give details saying the sender had requested anonymity. Still have no idea who they were from.

slugs

but I think they might have left themselves there

Actually understood the question but could not think of a single surprising thing ever left at my door, not even a slug.

Not even slug pals

Oh yeah just remembered at the same house when i was pregnant with my dd we got our milk delivered would bring it in then at some point later in the day there would be a pint of full cream milk left on the doorstep we never found out who it was from..it wasnt the milkman we checked, it went on for a few months then just stopped.

we once found a giant plastic head of a frog - not outside the front door, but on the roof of dh's car.

someone dug up some of our plants and left them n the doorstep...little

A frog - actually, I suspect it got itself there rather than any human intervention

Hey, thsi could be a new kind of swaps - people could be randomly assigned other people's addresses and leave slugs and bottles of milk etc oustide their doors. Think of the happiness which would be spread

and my cat does a nice line in leaving dead animals outside teh door -- I would love to swap some of them - send me your addresses

Fantastic, we just need a random stuff left outside door coordinator now, maybe iota's cat?

No, that would be dismal, dino, although I did have a rat in my front garden some weeks ago if we are broadening the oarameters a bit...

he's a cat GoN - he doesn't do requests
