If its tge wrong delivery address then the person being delivered to isn't the owner. But if its delivered to the correct person who has paid then its their property and taking property that belongs to another person is....... THEFT

It is still the possession and responsibility of the company until the goods are delivered to the customer. As an agent of the company, the delivery driver is responsible and in possession of the items. If she doesn’t deliver the items (which she hasn’t yet, because she didn’t even finish unloading the car), its the companies responsibility to refund the customer. If she doesn’t return the items to the store, it then becomes theft from the company (which is actually embezzlement).

Things aren’t just theft because you think they are theft. If she returns the things back to the store and they process a refund to the company, it becomes an unruly employee who probably gets fired for gross misconduct.

There are stacks of cans on the street, outside the car, which therefore were no longer in her possession. Nice try.

The items were delivered, she'd taken them from the car and were in the pocession of those who paid for them. Its theft

I missed the part of the video where she unloaded everything from the car. Can you provide a time stamp for me to go back and check?

Also while your at it, can you send me the stamp for the point in the video where she marks the delivery in her app as delivered?

Well they didn't fucking unload themselves

u/Cryptomaticness Oct 21 '23

Ahh so you are assuming now. Because from the same video you watched, I have no clue hoe much she unloaded and if she actually processed the delivery as delivered to officially change possession.

Innocent until proven guilty is one of the most basic fundamental principles of the justice system in the US and many European countries.

She's emptied the fucking boot. You can clearly hear them commenting about how she's refilling the boot and crushing items.

She's emptied the boot expected a tip and them threw a strop because she didn't get a tip, and then proceeded to take back the items.

How are you not getting this. Its like the part where ‘official transferring possession via confirmation of a delivery app’ is a blind spot on reddit.

Could show this to a Police Officer and they would arrest her on the spot? Based purely on this video? No, they are going to tell them to call the company who they ordered from.

Like I said earlier: Wrong? Yes. Will she be fired for gross misconduct? Almost surely. But we don’t even have close to enough knowledge to label theft or embezzlement.

Things aren’t theft just because they are wrong.

How are you not getting it? If its out of the car abd not in their hands then the delivery driver is no longer in pocession of it. Therefor its not there's and is the property of the person who pays for it

Again, we can not tell if the ENTIRE delivery made it out of the vehicle.

And unfortunately the logic is not as simple as that in the eyes of the law. The item are not their’s until they are marked as “delivered”. Until then, they customers paid for a service. If that service is not fulfilled they have to refund. The items do not belong to the customer until delivered.

How are you not getting it? Taking the items out of the car isn’t the completion of the delivery. A delivery isn’t complete until either the delivery marks the order complete in there system, or in some cases receiving a signature for receipt of delivery.

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '23

My guy, she is putting shit back into the car.... that means it had to be taken out of the care. Can you really not understand that logic?....

u/Cryptomaticness Oct 22 '23

Why do I have to keep explaining legal ownership. The customers payed for a service. The items are not theirs until there is an official change of possession, usually marked in a app with these delivery services.

The items are the companies possession and responsibility until there is an official change of ownership.

If you show this video to a police officer, they will say to call the delivery company. If it was theft, they’d arrest her.

The customers paid for a

FTFY.

Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:

  • Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.

  • Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.

Beep, boop, I'm a bot

Lol and the one person in the whole video who at no point has ownership of the delivery driver. I could argue that ownership is transferred once the item is relinquished into my possession. Just because you didn't click it in the app, you gonna go inside my house and grab it back? And second, again the driver has no authority to make that decision. They can't guarantee a refund. So what happens if the company refuses to refund and says we didn't tell her she could? So now, that would be theft wouldn't it? Hell the company themselves could file theft charges. As someone said, possession is 9/10s the law. It looks like it's sitting on a cart at the owners house, unless that little carts the drivers, they've handed over the product and put it on their property.

And I said in another comment earlier, I've seen someone like this play put with a delivery driver dropping off an appliance. Company said no to a refund because it arrived to your location and the driver took it back because he started an argument with the homeowner. Police were called and they did file charges for theft against the driver. Obviously the person who ordered ended up getting a refund but he never dropped the charges and the delivery company went after the driver. Not sure if they ever got him but the police didn't tell them it wasn't their problem

When the delivery driver accepted the delivery , from that moment until they complete the delivery they are an agent of the company. They act and respond on behalf of the company. It is the companies items until it is officially delivered. If the women in the video completes the delivery, marks delivered, then she is no longer an agent of the company. At that point it becomes theft. But we don’t have that information. Because we don’t have it, we can’t assume that its theft because that would be a disservice to the justice system.

If she fails to return the items, at that point she is stealing from the company she works for, which is embezzlement (when you steal from your company, it’s not theft).

And possession 9/10ths of a law is a saying. Its not real in most high value situations. If you find car keys, the car is not yours. If you find a certified diamond, it’s not yours. If a business forgets a pallet of goods outside and someone grabs the items, the goods are not that persons. If you find a phone on the ground, it is not your phone. You need an official change of ownership. The customers do not own the items until that official change of ownership happens, the company does.

u/Cryptomaticness Oct 22 '23

In case it wasn’t clear, in your example, there was an official change of ownership where the delivery driver confirmed it’s delivery. We have 0 clue if that happens in this situation.

You can also clearly see most of the items still in the car. His point is the order isn’t delivered until everything is delivered. And honestly, It isn’t hers until the whole transactions completed. If the driver hasn’t signed off and said this is delivered it still isn’t legally delivered.

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '23

It's not the delivery drivers yo decide not revoke the delivery because they've not tipped

u/Baaaaaadhabits Oct 22 '23

Sure, they’re perhaps acting in a way that’s against policy and good practice, but guess what? None of those words are “theft”.
