A mother in Barnhart, Missouri was left devastated after learning her daughter’s Christmas present was thrown in the trash by a UPS driver. Tracey Sole arrived home to find an official UPS notice, citing that her package had been delivered in her black trash can, in an effort to conceal it from public view.

The problem is that it was a trash day and garbage had been hauled away. Inside the UPS box was an Android tablet which was supposed to be a huge surprise for her daughter.

According to Sole it took her months to save up for it. After realizing the tablet was gone, she immediately contacted UPS but was told there was nothing the company could do. They advised Sole to call the seller, who told her an investigation would have to be launched .

After Sole spent a night crying and the media aired the story, she received a quick apology by UPS. The company has purchased a new tablet and promises Sole will get it in time for the holiday.

She has asked that the driver responsible for leaving the package behind not be fired.
