I was taking the dog out today when I heard someone pull into the driveway and heard my ring go off. I pulled out my phone and saw a contractor van delivering a FedEx package. We were expecting a package today, but it irritated me that they were pulling that heavy, oversized van into my driveway because the PSI of concrete on driveways is generally not heavy enough to withstand that heavy weight. I was about to close my phone when I saw him pick up a package and take it with him.

I called my husband and asked if he had a package going out, because he hadn't told me before he left to go to the office. He told me that our daughter gave him his father's day gift yesterday because she didn't know if we would be going back to the lake this week or not. He had put it on the side porch this morning and was going to call me to take it in, but forgot. He wasn't worried because our side door is blocked from sight from the road by shrubs, and you have to come up our long driveway all the way to the side door to even see it. The neighbor was out mowing his yard so he would have perked up if strange cars came snooping around, but he probably didn't even question a delivery truck pulling up, and the truck was between him and the side door, blocking his view of what the driver was doing.

He called FedEx to report it and finally got through to a person who said he couldn't do anything about it. He called the chief of police, who told him to come file a report and download our video of the guy taking it, but there is not much that he can do about it.

Does this not just take the cake? Legit drivers stealing from houses as they deliver right on camera, and they don't care because nothing can be done about it. If it were something we had ordered, the insurance would have covered it, and we could get another one, but this wasn't something we ordered, and the driver who delivered it to her made a picture of it being delivered to the correct house so there is nothing she can do.
