TNT here in the UK sent me a picture of someone else's driveway. I know several ex Amazon delivery guys who said other couriers used to keep a store of random driveway photos on their phone if they were nicking the parcel. Deliveries were GPS tagged so they'd turn up, open the app and enter the photo and then just drive on
How does a random driveway photo help you steal packages?
Basically the bosses at courier companies dont (and probably cant) check that the photo corresponds with the address. These drivers actively look for doorbell cameras and cctv too. If there is surveillance they're less likely to steal.
Man, I shouldn’t have even fixed my doorbell cam when it broke. It sounds like it’s basically a deterrent.
It probably takes 15 seconds to put the address into street view and have a look around. Shouldn't be too dificult to validate the photo. Not sure if there are any privacy policies preventing that, but I doubt it.
I've had evri multiple times deliver to someone else's house absolutely nowhere near the address they were given and have had to go looking for it
First time couldn't even find the door and the people never attempted to give it to us
Fortunately the company sent a new one but still
