Far out. I was wondering where my cat’s treats were if they’d been delivered and looked back on the security camera. Some dero with alcohol in his hand had come right up to my doorstep to steal my parcel in broad daylight.

So now not only does my cat not have her treats this sketchy guy now has my personal details (potentially including my number or email) and knows a woman lives here. Plus any attempts at identity theft that may follow.

That also might explain another parcel I haven’t received.

Fuck this suburb and fuck these people. Scumbags are just multiplying.

I looked into a parcel locker ages ago but have been putting out fires and didn’t get to it.

Nah, you're spiralling a bit

What happened was derro realised they were cat treats and not an iphone, swore and threw it all in a bush

I hope so. But even just one of my neighbours finding that discarded personal information would be very bad for me. I don’t want to go into it all. Living here has had a long “rich” history and has left me with legitimate ptsd triggers.

Plus I rely heavily on delivery now so if all my shit is getting stolen that’s a problem

Seeing as you've got him on camera, could you file a police report?

Hugs.

I’ve already called and the response was lacklustre. I’m waiting for a link to submit the video but expect nothing to happen.

Also I now have to make arrangements for help to get everything in person, lock my letterbox and set up a parcel locker.
