According to reports, around December 11 in Lakewood, California, a doorbell security camera captured an Amazon delivery driver dropping off a package, then turning back and without hesitation picking up the family cat, “Piper,” and carrying her to his car. Just hearing that makes me angry. Because pets are not “property” in the way humans like to pretend they are; they are family, and taking someone’s living companion from their own home is a betrayal of basic trust and a cruel act that can tear a household apart. If investigators confirm the facts and a court finds him guilty, he must not be allowed to hide behind excuses or receive a light punishment; he should face the harshest penalties possible, including life imprisonment. At the same time, Amazon must not treat this as if the problem is solved by saying, “We fired him.” Amazon has an obligation to fully support the search until Piper is found safely and returned to her family—by preserving and providing location data, delivery logs, and any other relevant records, and by cooperating transparently with law enforcement and the family. Amazon should also assign multiple employees specifically to help search for Piper, issue a clear apology, and share updates instead of going silent—for example, by supporting tip lines and reward efforts, contacting nearby shelters, clinics, and rescue groups, and even scaling back operations if necessary until the search is properly supported. Amazon is acting like this is “just a cat,” and that’s why they aren’t taking it seriously. But Piper is not “just a cat”—she is family. Imagine the terror of watching a family member be taken from the place that should be safest. Anger and grief are justified, and what’s needed is a thorough investigation and real accountability. If anyone in the area sees a similar cat, don’t chase her record the location, keep her safe if possible, and report it to shelters or authorities so leads can be followed immediately. Lost time can’t be recovered, and the only acceptable outcome is Piper coming home. Do it now, Amazon.@amazon@AmazonHelp

Due to confidentiality and privacy laws? So the route a driver takes is private and confidential in a public community? You obviously don’t care about animals but what if a child was taken? Would the route be confidential or private then?
Shame on @amazon@AmazonHelp@JeffBezos
27 days after initially contacting Amazon about my cat being stolen while delivering a package, I can finally say they have agreed to help to some degree. I will be reaching out to private investigators tomorrow to determine who the best fit will be. If anyone has any good recommendations in the LA/Orange County area, let me know!
@amazon do something about this shit!!! This is the second pet one of your drivers stole. Piper the cat still hasn't been found and you haven't done shit to help!!!
@babybeginner Cc:@amazon why are you constantly hiring CRIMINALS?!
This is the second Family Pet stolen from their home. You can clearly see this asshole urging the puppy or small dog to follow him.
Where is Piper the Cat Amazon?
I hope they sue you for failure to screen your employees!!!
@amazon is capable of working with police and the cell phone company of their fired driver who stole Piper the cat.
Trace the route, offer a $800,000 reward for the location of Piper, and hire a team to travel the route of the driver passing out flyers.

Compliance does not guarantee safety.
You have the right to flee when there is reasonable fear for your own safety. Approached by a roving band of masked perpetrators known for unlawful kidnapping, assault, use of excessive force, and murder, most of us would have done the same.
📍 Lakewood, California
An Amazon Flex delivery driver was caught on surveillance video picking up a family’s cat and walking away with it after making a delivery.
• The cat, Piper, is 6 years old and microchipped
• Video shows the driver petting Piper, then grabbing her by the scruff and leaving
• The driver later admitted to taking the cat, claiming he thought she was a stray
• He told police the cat “jumped out” of his vehicle — Piper is still missing
Amazon has banned the driver from delivering, and police are considering misdemeanor charges.
A mother and her three young sons are still waiting for their cat to come home.
Unacceptable.
@panos_panay@amazon What we thinking? Is Amazon actually going to help find Piper the cat or just sweep it under the rug?? I’m waiting on the block, I have MANY friends waiting to take over.
NEW: Amazon bans driver accused of stealing a California family’s cat; authorities say charges are pending
Video shows a delivery driver picking up the family’s cat by the scruff, carrying her to his vehicle, and driving away
Diane Huff-Medina said Piper has lived with her and her three sons for six years and was microchipped but not wearing a collar
Authorities say the driver has been identified and charges are pending, but the cat had not been returned as of Wednesday
Huff-Medina said the loss has been especially hard on her children since their father died a few years ago
The company says it is working with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department
This is Piper! She is the cat stolen by the Amazon driver!! We still don’t know where Piper is!! We need @amazon to put out a reward or put pressure on the police to find her or something.
They just want their cat back!! 😭😭😭
