Postwoman hurls parcel through upstairs window when homeowners were out

A postwoman has been hailed an ‘impressive shot’ after she hurled a parcel through an upstairs window when the homeowners were out – and managed to land it on the bed.

Laura Chaisty found a red ‘sorry we missed you card’ when she got home from work in Faringdon, Oxon.

But the slip contained the hilarious message: “Your top window was wide open, I threw it in there.”

She was “shocked” when she found the Royal Mail parcel had landed perfectly on her bed.

Laura, 27, a coffee barista, was not expecting the parcel which contained gym supplements for her fiancee, Dale Townsend.

Laura said: “It was just hilarious. I was shocked because of where it had landed.

“And from the angle she threw from it must have been an impressive throw.

“She would have had to get the parcel underneath the window and not through it.
