S8ight Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 there you go three replies saying to chin the nunney just say the voices told you to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff oakley Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 It is very tempting to chin him however the voice of reason says no. If you do you will be prosecuted, the "victim" will deny everything, be appointed a team of highly paid scocial workers, counsellors, given legal aid to recover money from you. His children will be sent on Safari to recover from the trauma of it all and he will still open your post. Send the police a recorded letter and him informing him to refrain from his actions. Also I seem to recall if the post office still deliver incorrectly then you may be given a PO box foc to ensure this cannot happen again. You have to collect it your self but do you want this guy looking at post. Alternativly if a house burns down there usually is no letter box.

steppenwolf Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Quote (3) A person commits an offence if, intending to act to a person's detriment and without reasonable excuse, he opens a postal packet which he knows or reasonably suspects has been incorrectly delivered to him. Obviously, decking him would be the most satisfying solution but the above quote is the way forward. Don't just threaten him with reporting, just go straight ahead and do it so that the first thing he receives will be 'official'. Hopefully this will produce more crap than kicking it out of him .....

Mrs Westy Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 My only other question would be "who is the enforcing authority?" Is it the police? The postal services commission? (I may actually have just made that one up). Not really sure who is the right person to complain to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveF Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Why not try a more subtle approach to scare the crap out of him... Write an official looking letter on nice headed notepaper from a solicitor detailing that your court appearance for GBH will be soon, noting that your previous convictions may not be in your favour - and that the fact that the person you allegedly assaulted should have recognised the fact that you started to blink rapidly immediately prior to the assualt as a sign to 'back off' may not be a credible defence. Mail the letter to yourself until it's opened ... then when the bloke hands it over - just start 'blinking rapidly' - then watch him crap himself - no charges - no threatening behaviour - no more letter opening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon the way forward is to print out that piece and post it to yourself !!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chalky Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 ok this is what you do .. first you sue him for opening youe mail then you sue him for cutting you finger on the way out of his gate after you have fallen over it. then you sue the post office for getting it wrong then when you have done that sue them all again for loss of earnings. now go round his house in your new fararri tell him your moving to a great big house in the country and just when his jaw drops then you chin him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMS Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 My only other question would be "who is the enforcing authority?" Is it the police? Opening another persons mail is a criminal offence and, as a result, should be reported to the police who will, no doubt, be entirely disinterested. The Postal Services Commission is the regulatory body and so has some teeth to take action against the postal service but not members of the public. You should still report it to them as they do have certain avenues for encouraging the postal service to ensure that there is no recurrence of the problem. In any case, it would be difficult to prove in the eyes of the law that the person was acting to your detriment or without reasonable excuse. He could simply plead that he opened the mail in error as it was delivered to him and, as soon as he noticed his mistake, he brought it round. Still, the best thing would be to report the matter but after a month or so of inactivity then you chin him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
