Right... what should i do???

The Saturday after xmas somebody called at my house with 2 bags of xmas presents for the woman over the road to me. They said she seemed to be out and as they`d travelled a long way to see her they asked if I`d mind dropping the presents off to her.

I`ve called at her house in total about 8 times and also put 2 notes thru her door telling her i`ve got these presents for her. She`s not responded and the presents are still here. She has been home because her curtains are closed at times and open at others. There`s about 8 presents in total so.............

Should I open them and keep em for myself or
Should I just keep trying to deliver them at her house

Or you could give them to me

Put them is a bin bag, tie it up nice and tight and dump them on the doorstep.

hmmm never thought of that, they might get collected by the bin men tho by mistake?? and what a waste of presents that would be!

Pretend you are Father Christmas and drop them down the chimney.

Put a big sign on them. "Not rubbish, expensive presents for the children" Then no-one will even consider nicking them, will they, 'cos they're for the kiddies!

I'd stick one more note through the door in a nice big A4 envelope, stating that she can collect them from you at specific times. Also add a deadline after which you will give the lot to a local charity shop. Of coarse you will have to open them as charity shops dont accept electricals or food, you would then have to find another way to dispose of them.

Stick a note throught the door saying that you have a stack of pressies for her and can she let you know when you can deliver them State that if you do not hear form her with in 2 weeks, then you will take whatever is in them to a charity shop...Then sell the stuff on ebay

And wouldnt they have checked that the neighbour was in before travelling a 'long way'?

Could be packets of drugs for all you know!!

Deliver them to her next door neighbour. Takes the responsibility off of you then.

I reckon you are taking a walk on part in a big drug dealing operation.You are "looking after" the gear until the heat is off the dealer who will then collect and you will be none the wiser.
My imagination gets the better of me sometimes.
