PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Press the bookmark thingy to the right of the thread title. It’ll turn red when it’s bookmarked.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.3 -

This is madness. I can honestly see this descending into a campaign of harassment by the family members where you end up having to notify the police of all their ridiculous demands and unacceptable behaviour.0

Maskface said:This is madness.Yes.I think the bigger problem is how this thread is being kept alive a month after the OP last commented - I hope and assume from the silence that they managed to get things sorted with their new neighbours.Whilst it is nice to get feedback on how things worked out, after a month of some people asking persistently, I think it might be appropriate for us all to assume the OP either has nothing new to add, or would prefer to move on, and thus it would be better let the thread quietly fade into history (unless and until the OP has something else to add) rather than refreshing it on a regular basis.It is quite possible that the neighbours are normal friendly people and everything will be fine... rather than them being something approximating to borderline psychopaths in the way that some posters appear to believe.9

also quite possible that the neighbours have mentioned the post and hence the OP wants it to drift away1

Best read I've had on a Sunday in quite some time!!
As the time capsule has already buried and the left items collected it's too late to work on my suggestion - which was to empty the contents into a bag to include with the items to be collected but let them know that, yes, the time capsule had been buried as requested.
And yes I'd like an update too!!I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

It is one thing when a 1 post forumite vanishes with no feedback, another when a regular choses not to continue posting on a thread they started.... sleeping dogs (in bags for life?) and all that.6

To be totally honest, if I was the OP I'd be feeling a bit 'hunted' and not by the previous owners! If they want to comment/update, they will. I also take it that if there isn't an update, there is nothing further to say, and am very glad for them.11
