Should I be worried about what Uber Delivery Man said to me tonight

Hello everyone
I have a Mercedes Car on my driveway but with a Wheel Clamp on it, DD ordered a Delivery with Uber, I answered the door and the Uber Man said to me can I ask you something I said yes then he said is the Wheel Clamp on your Mercedes Car safe I said why are you asking and he said to me just want to know if the Wheel Clamps are safe for security reasons as I want one for my Car.
Just felt very strange for a Uber Delivery Man to ask me if that and I’m now wondering if he wanted to know if he was up to something.

This is stealth boast mentioning the mercedes, then anti stealth boast that you live in an area where you have to clap your own car on your drive 🤷🏼‍♀️

Honestly talk about paranoia. The man is probably just asking an honest question. I've never seen a wheel clam on a car, I've seen steering wheel locks.

MyAmusedPearlSquid · 27/10/2025 23:27

Lol he isn't going to tell you he's about to rob it mad 🤣

Can people please remember to put a capital C on Car, when they write Mercedes Car? Thank you. Have some respect for someone with a Mercedes Car.

SweetnsourNZ · 27/10/2025 23:23

I have but only only project cars. People put them on caravans and trailers too. Wouldn't use them on a car you use everyday though.

Eh? Sounds like he was making chit chat and asking whether you'd recommend something he's interested in.

Agreed.
Did you post just to tell us you've got a Merc... ? 🤔🤣

BingBongBish · 27/10/2025 23:19

LOL this is absolutely batshit OP 🤣🤣

He as simply asking if they're reliable.

The end.

ElizabethsTailor · 27/10/2025 23:16

Why do you keep calling it a “Mercedes car”? Is it to differentiate it from your Mercedes van?

I read about this in my local paper. Delivery drivers ask you if they’re safe and if you say ‘no, they’re just for show’ then they creep back in the dead of night and just ping them away with their little fingers and drive off with your car. Only evidence is their Uber scooter left behind. Good on you for being vigilant. You have a Mercedes after all!

He didn’t have a car he had motor bike

Oh well that settles it.
He was definitely a wrong 'un.

Your car will be toast by the morning.

WagnersFourthSymphony · 27/10/2025 23:10

No.

I didn't know wheel clamps on the drive way were a thing.

Are you trying to sell wheel clamps?

… when he did the delivery

How on Gods green earth do some people leave the goddam house?

Dagnabit · 27/10/2025 23:06

A Merc and a mid week Uber delivery? Calm down, Rockefeller! 🧐

Why is there a wheel clamp on your car?

Quite common where I live. A few of my neighbours have them on both their cars on driveways and on street parking, especially work vans.Friends of ours were followed home one night and had both their cars stolen off their drivesway at the same time, so now clamp their cars.

"Oh Lord won't you buy me..."

Got that little ear worm going round in my head now 🤣

I bet he does have a car. Having a motorbike doesn't prevent you having a car. They're not mutually exclusive.

You know you’re allowed to own both? 🤣

GriGreen · 27/10/2025 22:56

Ive got 3 Mercedes on my drive, non with wheel clamps, I’ve only ever seen wheel clamps on trailers.

JadziaD · 27/10/2025 22:55

ooh, someone from the dirty masses dared to ask you a question that can't possibly be relevant to him because of course, he couldn't possibly have a nice car he wants to protect, or even a normal car, or even just an interest in car safety on behalf of friends or family.....

Did you feel he should have tugged his forelock when he came in?

I'm constantly surprised by how outraged people are by perfectly normal conversations between people. I asked my uber driver once whether he felt his dashcam was worth it as i was considering one and whether he recommended a particular brand. Was I dodgy? or is that okay? And if so, why? Is it because I am "above" him in the heirachy....?

Sometimeswinning · 27/10/2025 22:54

Kiss your car goodbye! Sounds like he’s tricked you out of some important information!!

Redpeach · 27/10/2025 22:52

Is it relevant that your dd ordered an uber

Well he told you he has a car, so presumably has one at home?
