Parcel at a neighbour not answering door

[Delvis]

Was it expensive? Serious question.

They have opened it by mistake, found out its an extra large butt plug and now cant hand it back in opened packaging

They need to get another delivered next week so they can hand that over and pretend its the same parcel.

 

[wildman]

Maybe they are at the supermarket

more likely having snus snus in the garden shed..................

At the end of the day the courier is liable if they delivered it to a different address without your permission.. So you are entitled to a full refund.

I'd also report it as a theft to the police as well though.

Long story short, they do nothing but post threads moaning and whinging about literally anything and everything.

I think this is the interesting point of it all. The recipient would likely just be saying "Well, someone has handed this to me, how is it theft?". The delivery company will be saying "Well, we delivered it, we have a signature".

Its theft because they're depriving the intended recipient of their property.
They will know it doesn't belong to them.

Half a gallon of unleaded through the letterbox will have them out of the house before you even have to strike the match. £5 well spent.

Goodness me, I used to watch your YouTube videos, this whole thread is a throwback to the past

Im fairly sure that is what Cheesefest sees when he opens his curtains. But they all have masks on.

It's not always so easy to prove theft.

A person is guilty of theft if he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it

Had an interesting conversation with someone who I know well about this. They had received an Amazon delivery in error (they don't have an Amazon account) that was plainly addressed to someone else a few streets away (think it was the same house number). They were of the opinion that they could keep it, whereas I suggested that doing so would be knowingly depriving the legal owner of their property. In the end they did the right thing and took it to the correct address, where the recipient apparently seemed unimpressed by their good deed! So if it happens again I think they will just keep it.

Another riveting tale, you should write a memoir

Why would elderly people who have almost ALL week to shop feel they need to do their main shop on the busiest time of the week?

Tradition, it's when everybody went big shopping in the old days and it's all ages.
We can now all go at any time we want, even during the night, but some people are stuck in their ways.
Saturday morning about 10am is when you'll see a great big queue leading from the A50, up a slip road on to a Tesco near me, it's rammed and even a massive car park can be full and hard to get a place, if they went at 3pm there would be nobody there.
They could go Sunday morning at 10am and it would be empty and so on.
Me and my wife go at around 11am on a Friday to ALDI, we're virtually on our own.

I've got this scenario too, with the house opposite ours. I've been over 3 times when their car is there and they just don't answer.
