It's annoying at the best of times when packages go missing, let alone when they are swiped from your doorstep.
Well, spare a thought then for New Yorkers who were targeted by a thief who used her DoorDash job as a cover to steal, police have said.
Even more shockingly, she was allegedly caught on camera stealing packages whilst making her deliveries.
Take a look below:

The shocking clip, captured on a Ring camera, shows Juliana Saggaram appearing to swipe packages in broad daylight as she goes about her deliveries.
Dressed in a black tank top, Air Pods, sunglasses and a yellow skirt, the 33-year-old seems unphased as she approaches the Manhasset home.
Placing the Chipotle order on the step, she then quickly shoves the takeaway in front of the other package before taking off with the package.
She then dashes back to her grey SUV.
According to police reports, the Queens resident repeated this tactic twice on the same day before being caught on 4 September.
It’s after one of her victims reported the crime, leading to Saggaram being charged with two counts of petit larceny and issued an appearance ticket.
She is set to appear at Nassau County First District Court on 20 October.
But sadly, she’s not the only badly behaved delivery driver out there, with one even taking revenge on a customer who didn’t tip them.
Whilst it’s pretty standard to leave a small tip, sometimes you just can’t bring yourself to do it if the service is that bad.
However, when one DoorDash customer decided to complain of ‘poor service’, things became heated.
Instead of arguing things out or chalking it up to experience, the driver dropped off the delivery of water and then turned to slash the customer’s tires.
Again, the shocking footage was captured on a home security camera, with the unhappy employee using a rock to cut the person's tires.
Despite his bad behaviour, some people claimed to be on the driver’s side after the shocking footage was uploaded to TikTok.
One wrote: "If the tip isn’t already on the order im not taking it! Go get your own s**t if u dnt wanna tip."
Another posted: "Yeah I’m on his side. U telling me u expect someone to go to the store for u, get u heavy waters, & u have the nerve to not tip & play victim?"
