When I came back to work from the break recently, I had a package waiting for me in the office, from an anonymous sender. Inside it contained gift certificates for (from what I've heard) are very expensive restaurants. Restaurants in San Francisco, such as "Aqua", "Jardiniere", "Benihana's", "Farallon", "Gary Danko", "Masa's" "Fleur De Lys", "Postrio's" I've never even heard of most of these restaurants before, let alone eaten at them, but I have a feeling that someone from my past sent them to me out of guilt, and there is no forwarding address, so I can't send it back.
A part of me wants to keep it, but this person that I am assuming it is, slept with my husband 3 years ago, and then turned around and lied about being pregnant with his child. She told me that she had issues because of being molested as a child, had low self esteem and that she lied about the pregnancy to get me to leave my cheating husband, because she thought I deserved better. I was furious with him and we suffered tons of backlash from their actions, but I didn't leave him. She was a girl that I was trying to mentor, and who was in my class as a communications student. Over a year's worth of time, we developed a cool bond and I don't know why she did what she did, but I forgave my husband and told her to get lost and to seek psychological help. After I found out and told her off, she called non-stop for forgiveness on and off for about a year and a half. She finally stopped for a year or so now, Suddenly I get these expensive restaurant gift certificates (no note, no forwarding address) and I mean for like $200.00-$500.00 a piece. Who else would do this and for what? I told her a while back that the least she could do, was to never contact myself or my husband again, but I guess the guilt wont let her. What would you do? Should I keep letting her send this to me or contact the police? I am a college professor and so is my husband and I don't want any negative attention for neither one of us, because of this incident. I just want to move on with my life and forget that this ever happened.|||I don't really think the police could do anything for your situation. She really isn't doing anything to harm you or your husband. She's just doing this stuff out of guilt and desperation so the police would probably just ignore it. Don't keep the gifts, you could always throw them away if you want or give them to someone else but you could also contact her and ask her about it and just forgive her because if you really want to move on, that's pretty much the only way you can do it and the police won't have to get involved and you won't draw any attention to yourselves. Good luck with everything though...|||It doesn't sound like anything illegal has happened yet, so the police will likely do nothing for you. You do not know for sure who actually sent these items to you even if you have a strong opinion. It is certainly odd that anyone would send you such expensive items without explanation, but not illegal. You could get a civil restraining order taken out on the woman which would make it actionable for her to contact you, however proving that she is the one sending you stuff would be difficult.
