Woman discovers horrifying note inside abusive ex's toolbox after they split up

A woman has been left terrified after discovering a chilling note inside her abusive ex-boyfriend's toolbox.

The woman posted the alarming message on according to Birmingham Live, which she found after breaking things off with her former partner.

She shares a photo of the yellow post-it note, labelled "vacation plans" with a smiley face drawn next to it.

However, the rest of the scribblings were nothing to do with planning a relaxing holiday.

Instead, it featured a diagram of a coffin tailored to the woman's own personal measurements, according to Birmingham Live.

She accompanied the post with the caption: "I left my abusive partner and found this post-it note in his tool box that details his plans for a coffin that he labels 'vacation plans :)'.

"It matches my measurements."

The writer explained she had found the note after her ex moved out of her home and she gave the tools to a friend.

The viral post has since received more than 2,000 likes and many comments, with users sharing in the woman's distress over the find.
