We got robbed today !

Oh no! I'm glad your home was not broken into which was my first thought when I read the post title, but this is bad enough. I'm so sorry. This really sucks. I've heard these people can drive around (if this jerk had a car) and follow delivery trucks. Or he was opportunistic, noted the delivery and helped himself.

I'm glad you have the video surveillance. I sure wish I had that when I owned a house. I hope he gets caught!

I remember seeing on the news a car stopping by a house. On the porch were some delivered boxes. The driver, a woman, gives instructions to her passenger, probably her own kid, a young girl, who then leaves the car, grabs the stuff off the porch, runs back to the car and it drives off. UGH.

That's horrible to hear on many levels. This is abuse IMO to have and teach a child to do this. What a bad environment those children are being raised in.

We were out , having lunch with my daughter, and my husband noticed on his phone that a delivery driver had left an expensive box of wine on our doorstep.

The wine wasn't wrapped in anything concealing the contents, just a box containing the name of the wine company.... but the stupid driver left it on the doorstep in full visibility for everyone..despite knowing no-one was home. By the time my o/h saw the footage of the delivery , the driver had already left so we couldn't call him and tell him not to leave it there.

By the time we got home.. the wine had been stolen from the doorstep.:mad:. ironically and annoyingly we were just 5 minutes from home, and driving through a storm so we didn't hear the ring doorbell phone alert that someone was at the door.. (the Thief)..

When we got indoors we were able to view the footage of the thief, a scrawny , dirty looking POS , who had a rucksack on his back which looked full and potentially stuff stolen from elsewhere

We've reported the theft to the delivery company, and to the company who are clients of my husband who supply the wine every Christmas as a thank you gift to him..(unfortunately they never tell us when or we would have been here to accept it) .. we've alerted the police who have asked for the footage of the video to be sent to them, but unfortunately I doubt anything will be done..

However more annoyingly for me, is that I will now become paranoid about watching out for this guy.. everywhere and anywhere... become a curtain twitcher... it will drive me insane trying to find this guy... so I'm going to print out stills from the theft on the video and the face of the guy..we got a good clear side view.. , and I'm going to put them through letterboxes and attach to poles in the neighbourhood

I cannot stand a thief... !!!:mad:

Holly. If you have a ring door bell, you can add Neighbors icon for your neighborhood. That way you can paste his freaking face all over your area. You may be different over there, but it is a great tool to have.

That's what I would do. But if you have his picture plastered around the neighborhood, he will probably pick another street for his thievery

well his picture hasn't gone out yet, we only discovered it all tonight when we got home... so slowly, slowly catchee monkee.. and we have several things put into place now...

I know it's not a huge thing at the end of the day, but this person could also be a burglar, and or even violent, and could be stealing from the old and vulnerable... and if I have anything to do with it, he's going to be stopped and stopped ASAP..

ROFLMAO!

I can't believe the postal service would actually leave something like that on a home-owners doorstep without garnering a signature.

This thread is my laugh of the day! :ROFLMAO:

Pappy, I don't think we know about ''neighbours Icon''. I'll ask hubs in the morning, and see what he knows ( He's the techi one).. and if that's available to us. I did think of plastering the video of the theft on Facebook.. but the angle of the camera shots, identify my house and I wouldn't want any repercussions from potential buddies of his.. so we've removed the background on the stills we've taken from the video.. and we have a good view of his face, and arms carrying the box..so that'll be enough to make fliers from

The police asked us to send the video to them, which we did... but unless he's already known to them I can't imagine anything will be done.

You can add UPS, Fedex and DHL to the list of delivery services that would just drop stuff off. Around here being very rural the Postal Service doesn't deliver anything to residential customers. Most people have multi-acre properties that are fenced, so delivery service just throw your package into your yard. :rolleyes:

That is horrible! Yes post his picture everywhere. I have seen a lot of thieves caught by posting their picture on fakebook (it is good for some stuff).

exactly Nathan, same here. We've read about these stories, but aside from once our parcels being left in a bin, we've never had anyone actually leave a parcel on the doorstep.. because we've always been expecting the parcel and therefore always home. ..but the sheer stupidity of DHL leaving that box with the name of the wine company all over it , make me wonder at the idiocy of the driver..
