Amazon driver kept thousands of stolen packages throughout home, Oklahoma cops say

Three people have been arrested in the theft of thousands of undelivered Amazon packages, Oklahoma investigators say.

In addition to the thousands of packages found scattered throughout an Oklahoma home, 600 more were found dumped last week about 30 miles northeast of downtown Oklahoma City, McClatchy News reported earlier this week. Within the rubble of packages was a clue — a garbage bag that contained an envelope with an address on it, the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office said.

As deputies investigated the packages they found dumped in rural Oklahoma County, they received a warrant to search a home about three miles away.

Inside the home were “thousands of undelivered Amazon packages; some still wrapped on pallets in the home,” deputies said. The packages filled the home and were even in the storm shelter.

1. How many were meds?

Disgusting

8. Also, did Amazon cover the losses or where they pushed back onto the sellers to eat and replenish?

2. How do people expect to get away with stealing a lot, repeatedly, from a hyper-monitored

supply/delivery chain?

5. I know right?

The driver is uniquely positioned to get away with a few, though. Drop the package at the door, take a photo, pick it back up. It will take some time to catch up with him.

3. Reminds me of Alice's Restaurant...

"Next morning, when we got a phone call from officer Obie. He said, "Kid,
We found your name on an envelope at the bottom of a half a ton of
Garbage, and just wanted to know if you had any information about it." And
I said, "Yes, sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie, I put that envelope
Under that garbage."

7. Did they start out as criminals?

Or did they simply fall behind because of unrealistic delivery schedules and start stashing the undelivered stuff away only to discover that nobody seemed to give a damn?

One would think Amazon would notice in just a day or two that packages were not being delivered and do something about it.

It's like people with gambling addictions or Ponzi schemers who start out believing they'll catch up and make everything right tomorrow.

9. The video indicated they would pick up their pallet of packages for delivery, but then take

an extra pallet or two that was not theirs.

I guess that's why this theft ring went undetected for so long.

10. They were third party drivers

They were not employed with Amazon. They were working for a delivery service that had a contract with Amazon.
