California Woman Says Amazon Delivery Driver Stole Her Cat After Dropping Off Package, Ring Video Appears to Show
CALIFORNIA – A Lakewood woman is seeking answers after she says an Amazon delivery driver stole her cat from her front yard immediately after delivering a package, an incident she says was captured on her Ring doorbell camera.
Ring Camera Footage Raises Serious Concerns
Diane Huff-Medina says her video footage shows the driver walking up to her front porch, placing a package at her door, and then turning his attention to her cat, Piper. According to Huff-Medina, the driver is seen petting Piper before lifting her up and carrying her away.
She told ABC7 that at first she believed the man was simply being friendly toward the cat, but after watching the recording repeatedly, she realized something was wrong. “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing,” she said, noting that the dim light made the moment difficult to see at first but unmistakable upon review.
Owner Says Amazon Identified the Driver But Cannot Reach Him
Huff-Medina says Amazon told her they located the driver, but attempts to contact him have been unsuccessful. She also filed a report with the Lakewood Sheriff’s Station, where deputies informed her the case may take weeks or even months to be formally assigned due to existing caseloads.
Community Concern and Ongoing Search for Piper
The disappearance of Piper has generated concern among neighbors and online viewers, many calling for clearer accountability from delivery companies. Huff-Medina says she just wants her cat home and for the situation to be taken seriously.
