I usually get right after they leave. But this person was clever, he went to the back so nobody would expect him.

Since he didn’t even approach my front door, and drove away, I was confused. I thought it was either (a) it required a signature and they want to skip over it and claim “resident was not there to sign” and then it would be returned and refunded, or (b) he got lost or something.

So, then I was busy checking all the front and back cameras, that’s when I saw him walking away with what appears to be a package.

I thought: Maybe that’s for a different addess because I see Amazon drivers frequently fumbling with packages, I once saw the Amazon guy placed two packages on my doorsteps, then realize one was meant for someone else, then took the extra one back to the van. At first glance at the camera footage, it looks like they stole a package, but really it was someone elses since nothing was missing or stolen from us.

So I assumed that was what was going on, mistaking a different package. There was obstructions so I couldn’t see the neighbors backdoor properly to realize that he left no packages there. I went to get it and it wasn’t there, then it clicked for me, the driver took it.

But since I had to go down a flight of stairs to get to the back door (front door is on floor 1, back door is in basement or I guess floor “-1”), even if I had known at the moment I saw him walking away I wouldn’t be fast enough to catch the guy.

Dude was clever. Since nobody usually leave their house from the back door.
