Child gets 23 balls kicked over fence back after 'moaning' neighbour moves out

A mum told how her "moaning faced" neighbour moved out - and her child got back all 23 balls which had been kicked into her garden. Her child and their pal lost countless balls over the fence over the past six years, and the older woman "refused" to throw them back.

But when she moved out, a pile of balls - all 23 of them - appeared next to the child's house. It seems the neighbour had been hoarding them over the duration of their time at the home in Manchester.

The mum, who wanted to remain anonymous, said: "Moaning faced neighbour has moved so we’ve finally got the balls back she refused to send back. Just the 23 of them!

"It must be over the space of about five or six years. We went on holiday in August and when we came back they were just there piled up in the corner.

"I’ve spoken to the neighbour who lived next door to them and he said he never saw them in their garden, so they must’ve been storing them somewhere instead of just sending them back. Weird behaviour. I don’t think we’ll ever know how or why they reappeared."
