Like a thief in the night, an Amazon driver dropped off a package at a California home but didn’t leave empty-handed, according to one furious feline owner.
Diane Huff-Medina claims the driver stole her cat, Piper, after making a delivery to her Lakewood home in California last week.
The incident, captured on camera, shows the alleged porch pirate wearing an Amazon vest dropping off a package, but moments later the driver is seen to grab the cat by the scruff of its neck.
“I had to rewatch it a couple of times because it is hard to see, it’s dark, and he doesn’t carry her very nicely,” Huff-Medina told ABC7. “I see her little tail, and I was like, ‘Oh my God.’ I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.”
Huff-Medina told the outlet that Amazon has identified the employee, but hasn’t been able to reach him. She also reached out to the Lakewood Sheriff’s Department, but was told it could be weeks before someone can take her case.
The Post reached out to Amazon, the sheriff’s department, and Huff-Medina for comment but did not hear back.
This isn’t the first time an Amazon delivery driver has been accused of thievery — back in March, a driver stole a package he delivered just 30 seconds after dropping it off at a Florida home.
