Amazon delivery driver gets stuck on my grass

I was out earlier today when I had a notification on my cameras, initially saw three youths helping themselves to something from outside my sheds. Jumped in the car and headed home to find rather than someone robbing me there was an amazon delivery, consisting of three young lads, who had driven on the lawn to turn around rather than use the ample hardstanding and had gotten stuck.

The young lad claimed that he had driven onto some bricks which edge the grass and started sliding, however watching the camera footage its clear he intentionally drove onto the grass and predictably got stuck. Que 30mins of entertaining footage of them trying to push the van, emptying it of parcels (because that was going to make the difference), and then raiding my wood store to try to put something under the wheels.

I towed them out with the 4x4 and sent them on their way. Having seen the footage though I'm not very happy as it was clearly an intentional idiotic thing to do, not an accident. They have left some decent ruts in the grass, not too much work to sort out but still.

I have the whole thing on cctv (ironically ring cameras), including the driver stood outside my door with his hands down his pants... In terms of health and safety, there was no pretence of masks or social distancing from these three clowns, nice to know he's also fondling himself between deliveries.

Now GD what would you do? Unfortunately, not knowing their addresses I don't think I can poo through their letterboxes.
 
if they seriously thought that would help I'm gonna say driving on the grass wasn't done with malice and they're just dafties!

When I got back and towed them out they didn't have a towing eye and one of them suggested I connect the tow rope to the bit of steel that the rear door latch clips to... So maybe yeah just idiots. They were young, driver probably only just old enough to rent a van.
 
As long as the damage does not cause you significant expense, I'd leave it to be honest.

If you report it, those lads will know it was you, and you may risk further hassle down the line.

First couple of clips of them getting stuck. Unfortunately one camera cuts out as they drive on. The angle makes the space look smaller than it is. Really don't know what they were thinking, just needed to pull up behind the grey car and reverse back.

I can't see any warning signs about your grass being unsuitable for motor vehicles. Are you sure that they can't sue you?

You had best think carefully before taking this further - he sounds gangster.

As it happens there is a sign on the private track just before you come down the drive saying "please keep off the grass" put there by one of my neighbours, not me. Always found that a bit odd, who needs to be told not to drive on the grass? Apparently I was wrong.
