Today, the mailman delivered my new phone to my neighbour's house. This was okay, because he left a note in my mailbox informing me so. Now my crazy neighbour won't give me the package because, "*I* signed for it!" FML

First, call the police because the package has your name not your neighbor's. Second, call the mail company to complain about the mailman and follow up on the complaint.

Honestly, how old is your neighbor? Because he's acting like he's ten. 'Finders keepers' doesn't apply in thr real world. You should give him a high five. In the face. With your mailbox.

Call the police, because *stolen* mail is a felony.

Try this before going ballistic... Write out a note, I received this package from my neighbor. And, sign it. I know it's stupid but it could even just be a misunderstanding where they don't want to be held responsible. Maybe?

why would you do this "@" once and then two words later do this "at"?

Maybe they normally only use "@" and ended up having a hard time trying to emphasize it in the next portion of the sentence. :p who knows. :)

You can't capitalize "@" but you can "AT" Emphasis is key

Step 1) Make a list of items that your neighbour has that you like, such as his Opal station wagon, 120cm flat panel TV, and trophy wife. Step 2) Sign and date the list. Step 3) Go over to neighbour's house and present the list of things you have signed for, showing they are now yours. Step 4) Hand your neighbour the bill for the phone, adjusted for inflation to no less than $500 (or equivalent).

If i was in this situation, i'd remove one of her car's wheels. "You get your tire when i get my phone."

I love how there are many claims to understand the justice system in the netherlands. "Call the police" LOL. I don't claim to have enough knowledge of other justice systems besides the US's to give advice but seriously.... does everyone think that other countries justice system act just like the US? Because they don't. OP may or may not have recourse.... but thinking there is recourse based upon evidence in your own justice system is stupid.

perhaps, but thinking there is recourse because op lives in an industrialized western european nation and not some backwards eastern european or, most backwards country of them all, china just makes sense.

I guess it varies then depending on how you define "backwards."
