Utah DoorDash Delivery Driver Drops off Cookies and Steals a Customer's Amazon Package on Porch

A Utah DoorDash delivery driver is caught on a home doorbell camera dropping off a customer's order in Bluffdale but then decides to swipe the package sitting on the customer's porch containing a new pair of bicycle shoes.

What happens when a DoorDasher drops off a food order and takes your Amazon package sitting on your doorstep?

It happened to a man in Bluffdale, Utah.

Utah Man Has Shoes Stolen by DoorDash Delivery Driver

KSL 5 News reported that Jordan Timothy ordered biking shoes on Amazon, and they arrived at his house while he was not there. He did receive a notification about the delivery.

However, when Jordan arrived home, his Amazon package was no longer there. Instead, he found a box on his porch from a cookie company.

Jordan then reviewed his Nest camera footage and was shocked to see the thief in action.

He said, “I just thought it was so audacious...To me, it's crazy.”

Jordan reported the theft to DoorDash and they responded rather quickly to his message with a strange reply.

It read:

“Hi Jordan, At this time, we are unable to confirm that the dasher has committed the reported theft based on the documentation provided.” -DoorDash

Jordan decided to file a police report of the theft, so he would have additional documentation to file with DoorDash, according to directions they provided to him.

Jordan's wife was just as stunned regarding how DoorDash responded to her husband.

She said:

“It’s one thing when you get just the people who will just drive by and steal stuff off people’s porches,” Katie Timothy said. “You can’t do much about that. But DoorDash knows.” -Katie Timothy, Jordan's wife

Update: DoorDash got back with Jordan Timothy on Tuesday, 12 September 2023, and let him know that the DoorDash driver was no longer with the company.

The video of the incident can be seen below.

According to an NPR report, US Foods conducted a survey asking 500 DoorDash drivers between the ages of 17 to 77 years old if they would admit to eating some of the food they were delivering. Almost 30% of the drivers admitted to taking a snack on their customers' orders.

54% of the drivers said they were "tempted by the smell of the food."

Thoughts

It's time for the reader to share their thoughts.

• Do you trust the delivery drivers in your area?
• Have you ever had a package taken from your porch?

Hello Good Friend

I have very vital information to give to you, but first I must have your trust before I review it to you because it may cause me my job, so I need somebody that I can trust for me to be able to review the secret to you.

I am Mr. David West, head of luggage/baggage storage facilities (Operations, Maintenance, and Transportation) here at the Honolulu International Airport, Hawaii USA. During my recent withheld package routine check at the Airport Storage Vault, I discovered an abandoned shipment from a Diplomat from London and when scanned it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a metal trunk box. The consignment was abandoned because the Contents of the consignment was not properly declared by the consignee as “MONEY” rather it was declared as personal effect to avoid interrogation and also the inability of the diplomat to pay for the United States Non Inspection Charges which is $3,700USD. On my assumption the consignment is still left in our Storage House here at the Honolulu International Airport, Hawaii till date. The details of the consignment including your name, your email address and the official documents from the United Nations office in Geneva are tagged on the Trunk box.

However, to enable me confirm if you are the actual recipient of this consignment as the assistant director of the Inspection Unit, I will advise you provide your current Phone Number and Full Address, to enable me cross check if it corresponds with the address on the official documents including the name of nearest Airport around your city. Please note that this consignment is supposed to have been returned to the United States Treasury Department as unclaimed delivery due to the delays in concluding the clearance processes so as a result of this, I will not be able to receive your details on my official email account. So in order words to enable me cross check your details, I will advise you send the required details to my private email address for quick processing and response. Once I confirm you as the actual recipient of the trunk box, I can get everything concluded within 48hours upon your acceptance and proceed to your address for delivery.

Lastly, be informed that the reason I have taken it upon myself to contact you personally about this abandoned consignment is because I want us to transact this business and share the money 70% for you and 30% for me since the consignment has not yet been returned to the United States Treasury Department after being abandoned by the diplomat so immediately the confirmation is made, I will go ahead and pay for the United States Non Inspection Fee of $3,700 dollars and arrange for the box to be delivered to your doorstep Or I can bring it by myself to avoid any more trouble but you have to assure me of my 30% share.

I wait to hear from you urgently if you are still alive and I will appreciate if we can keep this deal confidential. Please get back to me via my private

Hello Good Friend That I Don't Even Know

Re: Your Abandoned Package For Delivery

I have very vital information to give to you, but first I must have
your trust before I review it to you because it may cause me my job,
so I need somebody that I can trust for me to be able to review the
secret to you.

I am Mr. David E. Jordan, head of luggage/baggage storage facilities
(Operations,Maintenance,Transportation) here at the Harrisburg
International Airport, Pennsylvania USA. During my recent withheld
package routine check at the Airport Storage Vault, I discovered an
abandoned shipment from a Diplomat from London and when scanned it
revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a Metal Trunk Box weighing
approximately 110kg. The consignment was abandoned because the
Contents of the consignment was not properly declared by the consignee
as “MONEY” rather it was declared as personal effect to avoid
interrogation and also the inability of the diplomat to pay for the
United States Non Inspection Charges which is $3,700USD. On my
assumption the consignment is still left in our Storage House here at
the Harrisburg International Airport Pennsylvania till date. The
details of the consignment including your name, your email address and
the official documents from the United Nations office in Geneva are
tagged on the Trunk box.

Your Abandoned Package for Delivery

However, to enable me confirm if you are the actual recipient of this
consignment as the assistant director of the Inspection Unit, I will
advise you provide your current Phone Number and Full Address, to
enable me cross check if it corresponds with the address on the
official documents including the name of nearest Airport around your
city. Please note that this consignment is supposed to have been
returned to the United States Treasury Department as unclaimed
delivery due to the delays in concluding the clearance processes so as
a result of this, I will not be able to receive your details on my
official email account. So in order words to enable me cross check

private email address for quick processing and response. Once I
confirm you as the actual recipient of the trunk box, I can get
everything concluded within 48 hours upon your acceptance and proceed
to your address for delivery. After all, this is your abandoned package for delivery, and I am David E. Jordan.

Lastly, be informed that the reason I have taken it upon myself to
contact you personally about this abandoned consignment is because I
want us to transact this business and share the money 70% for you and
30% for me since the consignment has not yet been returned to the
United States Treasury Department after being abandoned by the
diplomat so immediately the confirmation is made, I will go ahead and
pay for the United States Non Inspection Fee of $3,700 dollars and
arrange for the box to be delivered to your doorstep Or I can bring it
by myself to avoid any more trouble but you have to assure me of my
30% share.

I wait to hear from you urgently if you are still alive and I will
appreciate if we can keep this deal confidential. Please get back to
me via my private Email:(davidjacksondavidjack11@live.com) for further directives:
