Tampines resident believes man stole her delivery and makes police report -- but it was a mistake
A man was caught on camera taking a parcel from outside a Tampines flat on Oct 5.
Thinking he was a thief, Stomper L made a police report about her stolen delivery, but later found out it was a mistake.
"I have an interesting case," said the Stomper, who shared CCTV footage of the man walking outside her flat.
He appeared to be receiving instructions from someone on the phone to go to a specific residential unit and grab a box outside the unit.
"My parcel was stolen," claimed the Stomper.
The box contained 98 laundry pods, which she ordered from Shopee for $9.
"I bought it at an excellent price, but a few days later, the price was corrected to $49," she said.
Her theory: The seller priced the product wrongly and sent someone to collect it back.
"I thought it was cheap because it was expiring, which we didn't mind," said the Stomper.
In response to a Stomp query, the police confirmed that a report was lodged, adding that investigations were ongoing.
On Oct 22, the Stomper updated that after investigating, the police explained to her what had actually happened.
The delivery man in the video had picked up her parcel by mistake because he was given the wrong address.
"So this guy is innocent," she said. "It was all a misunderstanding."
Meanwhile, the Stomper still hopes to get her laundry pods back eventually.
"Then there will be some closure," she said.
