I saw on the news last night about the sufferings of delivery drivers, they would go to a home and deliver a package, and in returning to their trucks, they helplessly watched as it was being stolen. The news showed one driver bring held at gun point. The cases of smash and grab is nearly enough to make you not want to go to the store. I feel for the drivers just trying to make a living. A lot of people won't get packages this year. So sad to even that such a thing like this even exists.

Hearing these stories makes me wonder why anyone would even try to be a delivery person or do Uber or Lyft.

I know, I'm sure this will cause a grave impact on the industry. I just couldn't do it.

Why are they watching helplessy when they could be calling the police? They could give a description or take some video.

Yeah, they should. But it's headed that way.

@popciclecold I think it depends alot on where you live. I couldn't even imagine something like that happening in this area. I don't like to give people a bad impression of our country, they hear enough on the news..and the majority of the US doesn't deal with these kinds of problems, at least not all the time. I couldn't imagine this happening here or where my sis or parents live either, even friend who lives near a major city.. Although people have broken into cars a time or two so I hear where they live.. I know in big cities things like you describe could happen, but in rural areas you are much less likely to see that kind of thing.

Yes, it is really a very bad thing. Just like the smash and grab at these stores.. Really sad.

Exactly. I sure hope I'm never in a store when that happens.

@popciclecold Very true, you'd probably be lucky to get away with just being knocked over

The drivers I assume should take good care of their ware when they leave their vehicle

People just do not think of the consequences they do what they have set out to do, I am sorry to hear this it makes it so hard for people especially during the holidays,

No, but from the looks of it won't be long. This is in big cities. I live in a very small rural town.
