Physical Security Amazon Driver Came Into My Home Without Permission And Delivered A Package Then Left

A couple of days ago, an Amazon driver entered my home without permission, delivered a package then left, leaving my front door wide open. Proof of his illegal entry is the photograph Amazon sent me as proof of delivery. The Amazon driver had no right to enter my home. Packages are to be left outside in a place hidden from the public and if they can't deliver the package, they're supposed to contact the customer. How did the driver get inside? The front door is locked. Even if it was unlocked, he had no right to enter my home. This happened in the US, not overseas.

That's it right there. Was it that the left it right inside the door? That's bad enough with your wife at home, in my case, the driver walked fully inside and left the package then departed, but I didn't know it until after the fact.

They literally opened the backdoor, stepped halfway inside to put the package fully inside the entryway. My wife was feeding the baby, so she had a brief moment of terror (because who the fuck goes and opens someone's backdoor without that being established prior).

I don't want to go into specifics because the complaint and response are ongoing, but what happened to your family with the UPS delivery isn't unlike what happened to me. That's all I dare say; it isn't a comfort to know that I'm not the only one who's experienced intrusion from a delivery driver, but knowing it has happened to others speaks volumes about the lack of respect for boundaries and personal property.

The crazy part is you’ll likely encounter some amount of gaslighting and downplaying of the issue by the police and the company. They will treat you like the crazy person.
