It\u2019s not uncommon for thieves to steal packages off people\u2019s porches before they\u2019ve had a chance to collect their deliveries. But one particular thief, masquerading as an Amazon delivery driver, went one step too far when he tried to steal a package containing cancer drugs from the front stoop belonging to an elderly cancer patient.<\/span>Luckily, Stephen Rosso<\/a> and his fiancee live in the apartment below the elderly woman, whose name is Rosa. Rosso\u2019s fiancee had just arrived home and was walking toward her apartment when she noticed something suspicious going on upstairs. An Amazon delivery driver appeared to be delivering a package to Rosa, but there was something different about him than other delivery drivers that Rosso\u2019s fiancee had seen before.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: Adobe Stock\/Rido<\/a><\/span>
\n<\/span>\u201cThey are always wearing an Amazon vest, a badge, a device to scan packages with,\u201d says Rosso. \u201cThe guy had none of that.\u201d<\/span>And of course, there was also the fact that the delivery driver did not place the package on Rosa\u2019s doorstep and leave. There was definitely something going on.<\/span>Rosso\u2019s fiancee informed him of the issue, and the pair decided they needed to intervene to protect Rosa, who they knew was suffering from cancer and undergoing chemotherapy<\/a>, the prescriptions for which she had regularly delivered to her apartment. Rosso immediately went upstairs to find out what was going on.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: Adobe Stock\/nd700<\/a><\/span>
\n<\/span>When Rosso confronted the man trying to leave with Rosa\u2019s package, he claimed there was a problem with the package and that he needed to take it back.<\/span>\u201cAnd I\u2019m like, \u2018There\u2019s no problem with the package!’\u201d remembers Rosso. \u201cSo I gave it to Rosa. I came back down my stairs, and he reached inside her house and grabbed the package from her and took it and said there was a problem with it. We said, \u2018Don\u2019t let him take that package from you\u2014he doesn\u2019t work for Amazon!’\u201d<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: Adobe Stock\/WavebreakMediaMicro<\/a><\/span>Rosso and his fiancee called the police, and the man returned the package<\/a> to Rosa\u2019s apartment before fleeing the scene.<\/span>While theft of any kind is a criminal offense, it\u2019s particularly upsetting when thieves prey on the most helpless members of a community, including the elderly and ill. Cancer drugs are expensive and need to be taken on a strict schedule, so this incident could have had a seriously negative impact on Rosa\u2019s health and life. Thank goodness there are still good neighborly people in the world like Rosso and his fiancee!<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0Share on Facebook<\/a><\/span>
