I watched a courier van man stand by his side van door, which was rammed with deliveries and saw him open amazon boxes, other delivery parcels, pulling things out, turning the, over, opening those product boxes and remove items from packaging. He didn't see me watching him. His van was not branded, not DHL or UPS etc. I was in my house so I didn't want to come out and confront him as I felt he could target me easily seeing where I lived.
He was opening boxes, rifling, then re sealing with his own blue tape. Sme poor sod will probably not get their full order, companies will have to replace missing goods etc.
I called the non urgent police number to report this. Was that the right thing to do? I categorically stated I did not see him pocket items but my view was obscured some of the time as he had his back to me. He was def up to no good and was definitely opening packages. A police car went past wth his siren on and he slid the door shut with a start but then opened again to continue so definitely knew he was up to no good.
