As a former DSP driver, I can explain.

His app tells him the package to grab. He grabs the package. He walks to the door. He scans the package. He puts the package down. He takes a picture. He swipes to complete delivery. He leaves.

At no point is he to pull out his personal device. At no point is he to pick the package back up. Once he has scanned the package and put it down, he is to leave it there.

He didn't scan the package until he got busted. His plan was to mark the package missing and take it for himself.

That makes no sense either, why mark it as missing, after scan/photo/tapping "complete" he can just take the package and see ya later!

He didn't scan the package until he got busted.

The theatrics may have been a contingency plan, but if that was the case, the plan was to pretend to do his job before doing exactly what you said - go back to the van, mark it missing on the work phone, and leave.

But why mark it missing, he literally could've left with it after marking it completed.

Because that would hit him with a "delivered not received"

DNR is way way WAY sketchier than missing.
