Amazon Driver Steals Puppy From Customer’s Home

51-year-old Richard Guttfield of Marsworth England reported that his black miniature schnauzer, Wilma, was missing from his home after a driver delivering Amazon parcels just dropped off a package.

The contract delivery driver for Amazon was dropping of a package of Wilma’s dog food. Instead of dropping off the package in the safe box up the road, the driver “opened two unlocked doors to the house” and left the package inside Guttfield’s porch.

Luckily, an Amazon worker opened Guttfield’s email and began investigating the matter. The dog was found and is not back with Guttfield.
