I mean, this is something she totally could've started doing after speaking to him about it and offering it to him. Assuming that you can just touch your neighbor's stuff is a little wild, even if it was well-meaning.

There isn't much to do here beyond accepting that she made her neighbor a little uncomfortable and simply not doing it again.

Well-meaning 28-year-old woman starts storing neighbor's packages in her apartment while he is away on trips, he confronts her for crossing his boundaries: “I was just trying to help; I wasn't snooping”
Have you ever tried to do a favor for someone, and it ended up completely backfiring? Sometimes, even if our intentions are well-meaning, they can come off the wrong way or unentionally lead to disaster. Once, my partner did a purge of the fridge while I was at work. Not knowing that I was experimenting with fermented foods, he threw out my kombucha, thinking that it was some old, moldy juice. Two weeks of waiting down the drain (literally). At least now he asks before tossing stuff from the fridge!
In our story today, a young woman starts storing her neighbor's packages in her own home as a favor. Feeling anxious over leaving them outside all day – and even overnight – she takes it upon herself to protect his things. She finds out later, when he knocks on her door, that she has been consistently crossing a major boundary all of this time that she thought she was being a good Samaritan.
