Whoever stole patio furniture from a Nanaimo home this week says it won’t be given back until the owner pipes down.

“You won’t see your furniture until the parties stop,” a note left behind says. “You are too loud. If you are quiet, you’ll get your crap back.”

The note was signed “The Neighbourhood.”

Nanaimo RCMP said while the incident sounds like old-fashioned “neighbourhood justice,” it is still theft and the owner would like the property back.
