We reviewed our doorbell camera footage and saw the delivery guy walk up holding the small box, look around behind him, drop the package at the door, and take a picture. Then a minute later he came back empty-handed, turned the box on its side, and took a second picture, which is the one I got. He had a big grin on his face the second time like he couldn't believe how clever he was to figure out such a great scam. He was driving a Hertz truck, which is why we suspect contractor rather than Amazon employee.
Amazon gave us our money back and didn't seem all that surprised. I just hate to think about how many of our neighbors he may have victimized and how many could be suspecting their neighbors of stealing their packages.

Long ago they cut off a thief's hand for stealing. No- I don't advocate that punishment- but it does show that theft used to be considered a big deal. Not any more. Theft is now a relatively safe crime. Thieves can appear in court dozens of times without serious consequence. Wonder if that is why some people take the law into their own hands and shoot people attempting to steal from them. One final thought- If you are a thief you are a low-life!
