FINAL UPDATE post #46 - Clueless? Presumptuous? Or Rude?

AprilSun said:
It sounds like the neighbor is pissed because your sister didn't take care of the 8 cheesecakes they expected her too. They were lucky she got their mail after the bad way they pushed it on her. Your sister did better than I would have done if it had been me. After that kind of response, I would not have kept my mouth shut although I know it would not have helped matters any except maybe my feelings! They are a poor excuse for neighbors! :mad:

It wasn't my sister - see the opening post; this was something I saw on another site. However, since she did collect their mail (which I would not have done) she should have made them come get it at her convenience. I would not have touched that cheesecake - no way. :rolleyes: I also think the comment about "we found someone else who can handle it" was snarky. :mad:
 

Thank you for posting the update, I was curious as to what happened. However, given the nature of said neighbor from the beginning, her reaction to the sister doesn't surprise me one bit.

Whoop, sorry about that. I knew that but when I made this post, it had slipped my mind. As I tell everyone, "I've slept since then so I must have slept it off". :)
 

1.) Lady should have checked neighbor's home and front yard for security cameras/trail cameras, etc. If any cameras are found, leave everything alone. Otherwise, this could be a setup where the neighbors claim they did not receive a valuable package, blame you, but collect from insurance. Then you have to deal with law enforcement and prove you didn't take it.
2.) Finding no cameras, go ahead and pick up mail/packages.
3.) Investigate packages to see if anything nice/useful.
4.) When neighbor returns, take them their mail and only one of the packages.
5.) Once they discover missing packages, just tell them you only picked up the mail every two to three days and someone must have stolen them.
6.) As neighbors are going totally bonkers, shouting and yelling and threatening the lady... her muscular male friend brings out the remaining valuable packages.
7.) Tell the neighbor, "Lesson learned. Ask before you assume. I'll pick up your mail anytime... with personal notification. It'll set on your doorstep and rot if you pull the note-under-the-door trick again."
8.) It sounds like she wasn't on their "Christmas card list" anyway.
