UPS Guy Steals iPad Mini Left on Doorstep by FedEx Guy

The UPS guy in this video is likely in a union and an Obama voter, and is supposed to be experiencing one of the busiest weeks of his year for package delivery. But he sure seems to have the time to rob people.

From the DailyMail here:

A Texas man found himself the victim of an extraordinary theft when a UPS delivery man stole the iPad Mini delivered to his doorstep earlier that day by a FedEx employee.

Al Alverson from Houston, Texas had ordered the coveted new Apple tablet for his daughter as a Christmas gift and had been expecting to find the package when he returned home. Wondering where it could be since he had a confirmation of delivery email from FedEx, Mr Alverson checked the surveillance camera installed outside his front door.

Much to their astonishment, Mr Alverson and his wife Sandra watched as the deliveryman from FedEx dropped off the iPad at exactly the time confirmed by the email.

Continuing their search through the surveillance footage, at 1.15pm a UPS man was captured arriving at the door with another parcel.

But after two minutes the same man returns, picks up the iPad Mini, considers the label and then walks away with the package.

UPS had been slow to respond and unwilling to resolve the issue.
That is, until he posted the video from his CCTV camera on YouTube for all to see.
‘I got a call this morning and they were very helpful. They promised they would get me a replacement iPad today,’ he said and confirmed that had kept their word.

UPS said he has since been fired and according to Harris County Sheriff’s Office, he has been arrested and charged with theft.

Fired right before Christmas? I don’t think you can get unemployment for being fired for theft, but UPS guy will go straight for the EBT cards, amIright?
