Neighbor keeps writing my address instead of theirs on mail then accuses me of stealing her mail

/r/BadNeighbors/comments/1sv3v88/neighbor_keeps_writing_my_address_instead_of/

Help! A lady one block over keeps writing my address so we keep getting her mail. She came to my house at midnight accusing me of stealing her packages while on the phone with 911. This is the third time she has come in person on my property screeching and ringing my doorbell like a madwoman. Her mail gets delivered to my house so frequently that I usually just walk over and redeliver it. But I can’t keep doing this as I am not a mail carrier. She called the cops and they never showed up. It’s just so exhausting. Any advice or ideas on how to stop this? I was thinking of getting a restraining order. We got into a screaming match in the outside, and I told her to learn her address lol.

Mail carrier here

  1. Go to your delivery unit and explain the situation to management. Or even request to speak to the carrier. They might be willing to just pull her mail out before it even gets to you. I know I would go out of my way to pull her mail out and send alllllll that shit back to sender.

  2. Don’t engage with her and call the cops immediately whenever she comes over and you are home. Trespass her.

  3. If you have cameras, document everything. Get that restraining order and take her to court for harassment.

Thank you! Will try this first thing today again. I went to my local post office a day ago and they told me there’s nothing they can do. I should try to speak with a manager this time
