Amazon Sets Traps for Package Thieves

[PremiumG]

Sounds like bad logic, if the scanner doesn't recognize the package , the system should assume there is an issue and tell the driver it needs to be return , and mark it in the system (even if it wasn`t there before) to be expected back as a return (with the warehouse having an extra flag for knowing it needs to be examined)

bottom line - the driver should never get an actual 'package not found' error.

I agree, but it would still catch thieves that don't think that step ahead.

Wish they did this when I had some packages go missing from my apartment. I could at least have proof then that it was one of my neighbors, or some random jackoff creeping on my stuff.

I'm in a house in a new area now surrounded by old folks who'd end up with a broken hip trying to get to my front door, so I don't have to worry about that now.

Pay for a UPS driver starts in the 40's with full benefits.

And I doubt they have an average theft rate of $10K/employee

I honestly thought our local guy was joking when he said they were desperate for drivers. They were apparently at one point starting at 34 an hour.

By cops, did you by any chance contact the postal inspector general? There's literally a form for this, and it is pretty much what they do.

Yes, nothing ever came of it. They ran me around in circles until I gave up. Insurance reimbursed me so after a few weeks of hassling them about it I gave up.

Eh, I was hoping for something a little more exciting, like Punji Sticks
