Amazon Probes Video of Delivery Driver Taking Family Cat From Lakewood Yard

Amazon reports the third-party driver remains unreachable despite identification.

Overview

  • Home security footage from Dec. 11 in Lakewood, California, shows a driver delivering a package, then picking up the family’s Siamese cat, Piper, by the scruff and walking away.
  • Piper has not been found, and owner Diane Huff-Medina filed a report with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Lakewood Station on Dec. 15.
  • Amazon says it opened an investigation, identified the driver linked to the delivery, and indicated he works through a contractor program but has not responded to outreach.
  • The owner says deputies advised the case may not be worked for weeks or months, limiting immediate law-enforcement actions.
  • Huff-Medina posted the video on Facebook to seek tips, noting Piper is microchipped but was not wearing a collar at the time.
