Shady neighbour

Friday 7.45am I think possibly my Ebay parcel may have been nicked from my front door as I heard and saw courier attempting to deliver it. Think it would have been Australia post contractor (also viewed a scuffle with someone) then saw courier leave to get back into post van, went to check for parcel but no luck. Parcel from Canada, no track number. Saw somebody grab courier by his top, positive it was female attacking him . Would have been person who lives in my block of flats. Saw all this from my loungeroom window. Could anyone advise me what to do at all? I have home contents insurance. I am hoping courier put parcel back into van due to the trouble. Very very distressing. Would have run to front door but was in pyjamas. Spoke with post office this morning personally but they did not seem that concerned. Any good ideas about what I can do?

I'm betting the landlord doesn't know about the pet mice.

What landlord would allow pet mice?    Of all pets to allow?

im a landlord and have people in 2 of my properties that have mice and rats (they breed them for the supply of snake food to pet shops etc).. i honestly dont care as they have shown me the setup and they are much cleaner than say a dog or cat. as a landlord, i prefer mice/rats to cats and dogs.

Tippy toes, I thought of that too. Michelle might have to run it past the landlord though, and that could be a problem (as well as the money, the cameras are fixed). Good suggestion if she can. I've had stuff walk away too.

Got a refund from 2nd item luckily through Ebay and explained the situation as best I could to them. I have contacted Postal Industry Ombudsman about the 1st missing item so will have to just wait til the P.I.O gets back to me about what can be done maybe possibly hopefully the Post Office will have to reimburse me the amount of the parcel but I think normally the P.I.O. only deals with lost item not sure about incompetence by a postal worker. Ebay said not a lot they can do about 1st item as it is U.S. Ebay and I would have to ring them in morning about it. I already told US seller the situation and they were utterly gob smacked. I said I would let them know of any further info developments etc . God what an awful situation this is. Yecchhh...

I did have a small basket at front door for my parcels but have taken that away now bit of a safety risk me thinks.

You have to be joking.....refunds from ebay for items you say were stolen from your doorstep.   What a rort!!!

unbelievable if you ask me.  Little wonder sellers are paying so much in fees with any rorting of the MBG like this instance.  Unless, it is truly unbelievable and did not happen.

Postal Ombudsman should see through this in a second!

[lyndal1838]

I can't see how postal staff incompetence comes into it either.  What is incompetent about a parcel being delivered to the door and then being stolen...or being snatched from the postman's hands....whichever fairy tale you care to believe.

If Michelle was stupid enough to leave a basket at the door for her mail I wonder what she expected to happen to it?

No Lyndal not stolen but apparently a mistake done by post office courier. Or rather postie not concentrating on his work and a largish disaster occuring due to lack of his concentration and stupid b..... neighbours sticking their fat noses in where they dont belong.

I have explained to Ebay situation and they offered me refund for 2nd item.
