Knock and ask. If you don't you won't get it back

Buy a new football

Two options.
1) Knock on the door, apologize for your football accidentally going over their fence and then politely ask for the ball back.
2) Buy a new football and don't mention anything about the incident.

I dont want to buy a new one though what if that goes over I am not going to keep buying new footballs. I knocked on her house three times and no response. I might know again in 2 hours

Watch where you kick your footie in future.

Tell her you'll ring the bizzies as she's stolen it and she will get a criminal record; and Police Interceptors will turn up with a film crew.

Or apologise and ask very nicely for it back. So you don't have a neighbour hating you.

Just knock and ask for it back, apologise for kicking it over there in the first place

If you're anything like my neighbor, I'm not surprised they won't give it back.

We get that many balls over our fence I've started to collect them. When renovating our garden, I used my new chainsaw to slice through them all and chuck them back.

Be careful next time. Buy a new one and suck it up.

LOL If you are lucky enough to have nice neighbours, she might have taken it inside to 'look after' it for you. Go knock, be sickly polite and ask for it.

Gather a couple of police officers and go around to your neighbours house and ask for it back. They’ll see the officers and get scared and give it back. Job done.

Such a sound advice. Couldn't have said it any better myself.

If they refuse to give you your ball back do a poo inside of a bag and put a note on the bag which says this is what I think of you and your family and post it through their letterbox.
