FedEx Driver Caught on Camera Stealing Switch 2 Zelda Edition
A Reddit user's doorbell cam captured a FedEx driver delivering a Switch 2 Zelda 40th Anniversary console, then picking it back up and walking off with it — while tracking still says 'delivered.'
Imagine watching your brand-new Switch 2 get delivered, photographed, and then... stolen right back off your porch by the very driver who dropped it there. That's exactly what one Reddit user says happened with their Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition console — and their door camera caught the whole thing.
According to the poster, the package was supposed to arrive that morning. The footage shows the FedEx driver setting the box down, stepping back to snap the delivery photo, then glancing up at the home's security camera. After a brief pause, the driver walks back, picks the package up, and carries it away.
The kicker? Tracking still lists the package as "delivered." The seller didn't require a signature, and the status apparently can't be changed — leaving the buyer stuck in limbo with a console that's technically "arrived" but very much isn't in their hands.
What's wild is the buyer's reaction. Rather than pure rage, they say they're mostly baffled: why risk your job — and possibly legal trouble — for this? "He looked right at my camera, thought about it, and took it anyway," they wrote. Fair question, honestly.
The poster's big takeaway: install a camera. Without that video as hard evidence, proving the package was stolen would be incredibly difficult. It's a rough reminder that even captured-on-film theft doesn't automatically fix your delivery status.
The story's blowing up in the community, with plenty of commenters stunned by how brazen the whole thing was. A 40th Anniversary Zelda Switch 2 isn't exactly a cheap grab, either — which makes the porch pirouette sting even more.
So what would you do if this happened to you — fight it out with the carrier, lean on the seller, or just count on the footage to save you? Drop your take below.
