If you’ve ever dealt with a lost package, then you know that sometimes, a mistyped address or a misplaced item in the mail truck can cause your goods to end up on a neighbor’s doorstep.

But if your neighbor got a delivery that clearly listed your name as the recipient, wouldn’t you expect them to return the products?

This young woman did, but after she recently ordered a designer skirt from Los Angeles that was mistakenly delivered to her neighbor, she actually caught her neighbor wearing it around town!

For some context, her package was mistakenly labeled with the wrong address, so it never showed up at her house. This pushed her to contact the company she ordered from directly, and they will be sending a new one to the correct address.

Still, she couldn’t help but notice one of her neighbors wearing what was supposed to be her brand-new garment.

“How do I know? Because the skirt is couture. It was designed and made specifically for me,” she explained.

“Now, the address was wrong, but the name was not.”

That’s why when she spotted her neighbor “sauntering” around in the skirt while with her fiancé, she decided to speak up about it. More specifically, she actually called out her neighbor for stealing the item in front of her partner.

“I was like, ‘You are wearing my skirt, and you know it’s not yours? You know my name is on it. She knows me, and you know you didn’t order a skirt?'” she recalled.

Anyway, after that awkward confrontation, she wound up leaving town to go on a business trip – so she wasn’t at home in her neighborhood for a bit. Then, once she finally arrived back, she found out her neighbor’s fiancé had called off the engagement.

The real kicker? Their relationship apparently ended because her neighbor’s fiancé didn’t want to end up with a thief.

Her neighbor has since claimed that she should’ve addressed the issue with her in private. Plus, she got blamed for making “everyone” look at her neighbor like a thief.

“Do we owe thieves privacy now?” she asked.

Regardless, in the wake of the broken engagement, she can’t help but wonder if calling her neighbor out for stealing her skirt like that was really the wrong way to handle the situation.

Did she have a right to call her neighbor out? Should she have done it privately, or was her neighbor in the wrong for stealing and wearing the skirt publicly?
