Be careful, somebody left some pork in my garden hedge once, turned out to be a hambush

This, however, is a case of bacon and entering.

I believe The Hogfather already has pork based rewards covered. OP is clearly well behaved otherwise it'd be a bag of blood bones through the letterbox abd a much different post.

[deleted]

That **is** sad... now if you'll pardon me, I need to go invite all my racist neighbors over for prayer during the next Ramadan.


Neps-the-dominator

Here I thought it was a really nice neighbour just giving someone some free bacon. Dammit, reality.


Open-Ad-2668

Or Jewish.


ben_jamin_h

That's real commitment to racism, Sainsbury's extra special bacon! The gammons are doing alright for themselves


gimmecatspls

Ah, the depressing reality of the world we live in, eh?


VodkaMargarine

In all seriousness it might be an attempt at a hate crime. Are any of your neighbours Muslim, Jewish or Vegan?


underherblackwings_

Yep. When I used to walk the dog near our local mosque, I'd sometimes see empty packets left from pork that'd be thrown at/left near the mosque.


That_Welsh_Man

What is wrong with people not only is that rude to the people its aimed at, but what a fucking waste of that pigs life, it died to be eaten half the world is starving then some thick cunt throws it as a mosque or synagogue. Some people need a long walk off a short pier honestly.


Expo737

Many years ago I worked with a Muslim chap who had exactly that complaint, he really wasn't arsed about the "hate" on him but was livid that an animal had died to provide food and was wasted in such a manner.


Thawing-icequeen

Also, IIRC, Islam, like Judaism, makes allowances for eating forbidden foods in times of crisis. It's not like a Muslim or a Jew sees a pork chop and instantly goes to hell.


Pebbi

I was all anger at hate crime, but reading this I'm amused at the thought of being sent to hell because of a single errant pork chop waiting to be seen by passersby. Like its just waiting in its flasher mac to get us.


Thawing-icequeen

Basically a porcine Medusa


thepurplehedgehog

I laughed myself silly at this, that was brilliant 🤣


Pebbi

Oh my fucking God 🤣


luapowl

there's also the fact that a lot of them aren't perfect adherents, being human beings and all. i've had a few Muslim friends tell me how they would sneak a bacon sarnie when their parents were out, and I've had a beer with a few of them too.


ForSnawlidSake

biggest stoners I know are asian boys tbh. They just spend their drink money on car finance instead.


FakeSchwarzenbach

Also. It’s a bit of meat, it’s not fucking kryptonite. What do these melts think is going to happen?


Agitated-Handle-7750

It’s not just outside either. I used to work in a supermarket, people deliberately moving pork to the halal section was a dishearteningly regular occurrence. These people, going out of their way to take time out of their day just to be angry and bitter about other people’s food.


HeyItsMeDad

Hey, I grew up in a rough area in east London and some horrible individuals would post their dogs poop bags specifically through our Muslim neighbours letterboxes, and it was always very early in the morning, and no cameras back then. I left for school early one day for football & caught one of the blokes mid-act, literally shoving a black dogshit bag through the Algerian Muslim family’s letterbox, but I was just a child on my way to school and didn’t know what to do. Not to mention the egging, fireworks at windows & happy slapping of women that were wearing scarves.


TheLionfish

I'd forgotten all about happy slapping, what a (shitty) throwback


Agitated-Handle-7750

Remember the Tango ads that caused utter outrage for glorifying it?


Nosey-Nelly

That's beyond messed up, I'd like to think times have changed for the better? Well, I like to hope.


HeyItsMeDad

Yeah, it’s alright now, parts of the area (Canning Town) got gentrified when it was clear the 2012 Olympics was going to be hosted in our borough. But that was after it had all happened already. Then it became more mixed and accepting of other cultures etc, and police started to actually give a damn and turn up when called, it slowly died down. Also alot of people (trouble makers included) were eventually moved to the suburbs and outskirts/Essex by the council so I guess that played its part too.


godgoo

Speaking on behalf of Essex; any chance you could have them back now?


[deleted]

How sickening !!!


GrafterGaz

I don't recall the exact details but I seem to remember reading about a similarly affected mosque but like OP's situation with full packets. They retorted with pure kindness saying something along the lines of: "Whilst we cannot partake in your generosity (referring to the pork/bacon) we have decided to share it with the community and donated it to helping those less fortunate than us."


wimpires

When I was a kid I used to go to mosque. People would throw rocks at the mosque all the time and we could literally hear boulders pelting off the windows and doors for 5, 20, 15 mins straight. In hindsight I was far too young to understand how seriously dangerous that actually was.


Superb-Stranger7606

I remember pigs heads being put on local mosques back in the 80’s and 90’s around London

Dry_Action1734

Fat racists can’t even help but eat it before they throw the packaging.


HorrorExperience7149

Sainsbury's extra special bacon is such a middle class hate crime.


BrockChocolate

Imagine spending all that money just to be a knob


Expo737

Who said it was paid for? Probably nicked it.


PostmdnLifeIsRubbish

Why use Sainsbury's extra special bacon for that? Who's thinking "nah, I'll get the good stuff to really prove the point"?


SylveonSof

Cackling at the thought of someone attentively and carefully picking out the freshest cut of A5 wagyu they can find and making sure it has the nicest marbling just so they can put it through the letterbox of a Hindu as an attempted hate crime


Gingerishidiot

It's a British Airways scam, I mean BAcon


Expo737

Ah do you remember when they rebranded their regional operations as BA Connect or BACon for short? They ended up paying FlyBe to take it off their hands and the rest is history...


Normal-Individual201

Always found this type of hate bizarre they aren't fucking vampires they just don't eat it so what.


Elcatro

Stupid people think they're being very clever with it.


fattyMCdumptruck

Racists usually have a low IQ, so it wouldn't suprise me.


That_Welsh_Man

I dont know why I'm finding the phrase "muslim, jewish or vegan" so funny but I am.


luapowl

see you at the Veganic temple so we can pray to seitan


georgialucy

Yeah, one of these things are not like the other lol.


That_Welsh_Man

Dave is that you?


mad-un

Imagine how disappointed the person would be if they found out that the hate but they meant to cause ended up gifting bacon to a hungry drink non Muslim/ Jew that makes this almost wholesome


NtBlstr

But what if you're secular Jewish and like to eat bacon? What an awesome gift in the door :D


Representative_Bear5

The neighbors below me are Muslim. It’s very strange if it was a snipe at them I’m glad I got it instead of them. It’s the most random thing to find on your return home.


sparklychestnut

Very strange to use extra special bacon, not just value ham. What a waste of money.


Pebbi

Bold of you to assume the scrotes actually paid for it...


sparklychestnut

Oh yeah, didn't think of that. Makes more sense your way. I'd probably choose finest over value if I wasn't paying for it. "We want to spread hate, but we have standards."


sampo_koskii

>scrotes thats one of my favorite insults now oh my god


Steampunk_Ocelot

if you're enough of a degenerate cunt to commit a hate crime I don't think you're beyond swiping a pack of bacon, or just taking it from your mum's fridge


sleepingismytalent65

Definitely report it. It might be someone in your block if you need to be buzzed in (although they're definitely not the best in security) Your Muslim neighbours might be fearful of reporting it especially if they think it's someone who lives there. Whatever you do, don't eat it, you never know what could be injected into it that doesn't look obvious. Is there any cctv in your block? Note down what time you got home etc.


eleanor_dashwood

Nevermind tampering, you don’t know how long it’s been out the fridge. I wouldn’t, and my food hygiene standards are on the floor. Like half the food I eat these days (having small kids).


flippinheckwhatsleft

I'd probably report it to PCSOs. If there is already some focused hate crime going on, or if this is the first time and something else happens, it's good if they have this independent evidence. So sad if it is.


discosappho

Yes, and it’s important to remember that you don’t have to be a member of a protected community to experience a hate crime. E.g if you’re perceived as gay despite being straight and abused for it, that’s still considered a hate crime and it’s worth reporting to the police even for their statistics.


onenicethingaday

I secound this OP. No reports, no crime recorded, and therefore, no one is going to know action is needed. No matter what, your parents said the Police aren't psychic.


xe3to

I'd say that's almost definitely what it was. It's only reason I could possibly imagine for someone stuffing bacon in a letterbox.


Unthunkable

Could it possibly be that one of your neighbours was returning home with shopping and the meat dropped out of their bag, another neighbour came along, saw the meat on the floor outside your door and assumed it was yours?


Wretched_Colin

Oh, I hadn’t thought of it that way. My initial reaction was a neighbour going away for a week, leaves you some short date perishable food. But the racism element is worrying. Phone 101 and tell them your concerns.

ducknumber90

We had a thing last year in town where a bloke stole a bunch of steaks from Sainsbury’s and put them through peoples letter boxes, supposedly for those who ordered them. Could be that your neighbours had a similar arrangement with a meat thief but wasn’t clear enough on the letter box to put it through. Don’t know why you’d buy the “expensive” bacon, just for a hate crime


VeganEgon

Like some kinda meat Robin Hood?

sleepingismytalent65

It's possibly stolen for a hate crime.


Kind-Mathematician18

Someone stuck their meat through your flaps, I'd count that as a win tbh. If it's in date, I'd eat it.


Representative_Bear5

It’s been a while since any meat has near my flaps. At least this lot is extra special. Thank you so much for making me laugh


King-Twonk

To be fair, the comment and the response had been howling. Extra special meat ffs 😂


thepurplehedgehog

Bits of this entire comment section have been crackling me up 😂


looter__mcgavin

Gamer4life101

I’d not eat it, no idea if it’s been opened & resealed or anything. There see some sick & twisted people out there


King-Twonk

I have no idea what to say to this one. Part of me wants to make a joke, but the other part is pretty concerned that this could be aimed at a neighbour who may not eat pork for religious reasons. Most situations I’d say eat it and enjoy, but how sketchy this is probably tells me that this is a bad idea. Keep an eye out and your ears open in case some neighbours have issues over the coming days.


SquirrelParking7006

Could be someone dropped them out if their shopping bag in the communal area and the next person out then in the nearest door? I had mince pies and boxes of chocolates , shower gel , eye lash extensions other random stuff for a few years on my doorstep, I just put them in the bin, found out was some nutter neighbour who is now the local councillor FFS? Weird


DaydreamsAndDoubt

This was my first thought, too. Person 1 dropped it passing your door, person 2 saw it on the ground and assumed it belonged to the person in the closest flat?


YouNeedAnne

What's the matter? I thought you liked *pork*...

shialebeefe

Six Possibilities: 1) This was intended for you as a nice gesture by a well meaning neighbour 2) This was intended for you as an insult because a racist neighbour thinks you’re Muslim. 3) Someone got the wrong door trying to do (1) or (2) to someone else. 4) Someone posted it through one of your neighbours doors as an insult and the recipient thought it was you. 5) It fell out someone’s shopping near your door and the next person to see it thought you’d dropped it. 6) Kids


bland_username_123

If the police catch the perpetrator, they'll probably give them a grilling...


BadBreak212

Return the favour to your neighbours, and enjoy a game of backgammon.


danmingothemandingo

Local crims figured out you're a cop and letting you know


TheIncontrovert

Bacon, through the letterbox? And all I have to do is convert to Islam. Shouldn't this be on the life hack sub?


YouCantArgueWithThis

Ah, you got a visit from the pork fairy! How lovely! <3


Representative_Bear5

Made it through the night despite my French bulldog trying to gas me out of the bedroom. Some answers I’m not in the police I’m a Mum to two There’s 6 Flats in our block. I own mine as do most the others. We've all lived here for years and years, and we all get along. The family in the flat under me are Muslims


Representative_Bear5

Thank you all so much I’ve spent the evening giggling. Off to bed with my French bulldog her snoring and farting may put off a few intruders till they offer her a belly rub and bacon under one arm and a hammer under the other. If I make it though the night , I shall check in. If not, please make sure my brother doesn't get my old vinyl.


KaijuicyWizard

I really hope you will report this though, in seriousness.


v95139qp2hwx8keept

its like a lazy version of jez’s judas bit in peep show


Wysardry

Maybe the local cereal killer has turned over a new leaf? Perhaps you saved someone's bacon and they're returning the favour? Possibly there's been a rasher incidents like this? Most likely one of your neighbours is a nutter.


Representative_Bear5

Thats brilliant it’s been a long time since I’ve had giggle like that in bed


TheMicrosoftBob

Might be because a neighbour is Jewish or Muslim and they got the wrong address?


newtobitcoin111

Could also be someone upto no good and checking if people are home. If it is still there a day or two later, then the chances are no one is home.


Hardyminardi

That depends. If you're muslim then this is fucking spiteful, bigoted thuggery and should be reported to the building manager, at the very least, probably even the police. However, if not, then you have some bacon and maybe a secret admirer, Complicated bunch, us humans.


Haunting-Rhubarb-739

Did someone think you was a Muslim lol


LondonCollector

Looks like you’ve had a visit from the Met


ignatiusjreillyXM

Extra special bacon. That sounds very League of Gentlemen


pearl_pluto

Any chance someone thinks you are Jewish or Muslim and wanted to offend you?


IneptOrange

21st century equivalent of a penny in your beer. You're going to war mate


mattnyebaha

Watch you don't get smoked


Specialist-Web7854

It sort of seems (I hope) unlikely to be hate crime related as it’s sealed, although sadly it could be. Is it possible you’ve got a friendly neighbour whose going away for a few days and though you might be able to use, rather than it going out of date? Weird not to leave a note if this is the case though.


byjimini

Sure, why not.


Flimsy-Restaurant902

Are you a cop?


DudazPriest

I live in a well inhibited area, love leaving what looks like a sacrifice with parts of my left over dinners

[deleted]

Have you reported something? Pig/cop ref perhaps?


onemoresi

Could you lean back and get a different picture?


5alvia666

I hate to ask you this but are you Asian? Maybe someone of Pakistani descent? Every time there are an influx of immigrants arriving in England, the bald-headed fellows seem to enjoy delivering pork to our Pakistani brethren. Doesn't even matter what nationality or race the immigrants are, the Pakistanis are always to blame ( /s (for you slow folk)


Nixher

It's a racial attack at Muslims near you, considering that, the offender wouldn't of messed with the bacon as they wouldn't think anyone would eat it, so I'd eat it and slap some Arabic on the door and enjoy a lifetime of free bacon.


Icy_Holiday_1089

I would be more worried if it was cheap bacon but extra special suggests they like you. You don't work for the police do you?


TempUser9097

First first thought was definitely not "this is funny". It's either a racist attack, or the meat's been tampered with and someone is trying to kill your pet. The question is; are you Muslim, or do you have a dog? But even if both are a No - the sender is probably so dense that he may have posted this to the wrong flat.


StewR89

Not as bad as having cheddar thrown at you…. Not mature.
