Amazon driver delivered parcel ... stole another !

enfo · 14 Jun 2019 at 17:32

Hi all

I was expecting to see parcels from amazon and ebay when i got home from work after getting notifications to say they had arrived.
When getting home there was only one in the porch , checked the bins and other silly places parcels have been left in the past but nothing there.

Decided to have a quick look on the nest camera to see if delivery was attempted ( had loads in the past that don't bother )

And there he is clear as day , walks up to the house with a white amazon bag .... walks off with the grey ebay parcel.

Has this happened to any of you in the past ?

Ive contacted amazon who have raised a complaint , i would have thought id be in for a decent bit of compo ? pretty bad having something stolen from your property.

Ive clipped the video but not shared it as was unsure if it would be ME that ended up in trouble for not blurring his face or something

Have you called the police to report the theft? Or is your first thought just 'compo'?

Then again...looking at the location.

Haha well I did think of the police first but let’s be honest , are they really going to do anything ? ( again maybe that’s just the location hey )

I didn't think they were allowed to just leave packages outside. Every time I've not been in, they've taken it back or left it with a neighbour.

In your account you can assign a “safe place” so if there’s no answer they will leave it there. So we leave our front porch open for stuff to be left there.

I think we can assign our post office as a drop off I’ll have to start using there.

id get intouch with the company that delivered your Amazon parcel (Yodel at a guess

) and tell them you have video evidence of their driver stealing a package from your doorstep

That's the job that they get paid to do. And if they fob you off, keep on at them.

If you go back to Amazon with a crime number, they'll take it more seriously, especially as you have footage.

As a few of you have mentioned , I should at least attempt to speak to the police....even if they just humour me and log it

Yea mate, have a chat with coppers. A nice way to spend afternoon

So after contacting amazon and sending them the nest video link the guys manager just rang me.
They have spoken to the delivery driver , he has admitted to taking the parcel ( no **** it’s a clear as day video ) , they have the parcel and the manager is going to deliver it back.
That’s a good start I guess...

That driver will either be sacked or they will all have a great laugh about being caught behind your back lol

The delivery driver should get the sack, disgraceful and if you didn't have it on camera you wouldn't have known.

The sack? He should be prosecuted for it, you've got video footage, the guy has admitted it, apparently the police are keen on easy to solve cases to boost their stats, this one should be a walk in the park!!

Nah OP sounds dodgy more to it.

I bet he's going to post something else through your letterbox after you get him the sack.

This is whats annoying me most , if it wasn't for the camera i wouldn't of known / been told its my fault for allowing the porch to be used / been out of pocket.

Amazon have just turned up with my parcel , flowers , chocs and prosecco. Poor guys were super apologetic but its not their fault

Damage limitation, I would still phone police on the non emergency number. Who know how many other people that driver has done this to.
