Amazon has apologized after a third-party delivery driver was caught on home security video allegedly stealing a family’s cat in a Los Angeles suburb earlier this month.
The incident happened Dec. 11 in Lakewood, according to a report from KTLA-TV.
Diane Huff-Medina shared video footage showing an Amazon Flex worker delivering a package to her home.
The man was seen placing the package at the front door and taking a photo to confirm delivery.
Moments later, the family’s cat, Piper, approached the delivery driver. Piper, a Siamese mix, appeared friendly as the man crouched down to pet her.
According to the video, the delivery driver then picked up the cat by the scruff of her neck.
He was seen carrying Piper to his vehicle before driving away.
Huff-Medina told KTLA that Piper has lived with her and her three sons for six years.

She said the cat is microchipped but was not wearing a collar at the time of the incident. Huff-Medina did not realize Piper was gone until the next day.
The woman only discovered what happened after reviewing footage from her Ring doorbell camera.
Amazon responded to the incident in a statement provided to KTLA.
“This was a horrible act, and we’ve apologized to Ms. Huff-Medina,” Amazon spokesman Louie Tran said.
Tran added that the Amazon Flex delivery partner involved is no longer eligible to deliver to customers.
Authorities confirmed the driver has been identified and that charges are pending.
Tran said Amazon is working with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department during the investigation.
Huff-Medina said the situation has been especially difficult for her children.
She told KTLA that their father died a few years ago, making the loss even more painful.
“It’s a helpless feeling because we watched her get taken, so I don’t know where she is or if she’s OK,” Huff-Medina said.
She added that her children repeatedly ask if Piper has come home.
Huff-Medina shared the video of the driver on Facebook to ask her community for help.

Diane Huff Medina December 14 at 3:46 PM · UPDATE 12/18: Amazon and law enforcement know who he is. Charges are being filed. I have not been successful in speaking with anyone at Amazon who can give me information. We do not have Piper back. I am hopeful we can still find her. An Amazon delivery person took our cat, Piper, after he dropped off a package on Thursday evening. We just want her back home safely. We are working with Amazon and local law enforcement, but haven’t had much support in getting help from either one Amazon has identified the driver but has not been able to get ahold of them. If anyone has any tips on what we can do, let us know! Feel free to share. Thank you! ABC7 Amazon.com Amazon Prime KTLA 5 News

LUNCH!!!
He probably gave it to his girlfriend and told her it cost $1.000.
If the driver was a Haitian, he probably ate the cat.
I have to ask, is the driver Haitian?
They're eating the dogs.
THEM Haitians.
I’d offer to drop charges if he’d return the cat.
Full on consequences if he can’t return the cat.
My neighbor thinks cat burglary should be right up there with dognapping and I know why that is because she’s a PETA activist. /s
If Amazon had any brains they’d offer a reward for the return of the cat.
Despite all the hissies from the left about how that pet eating news was over hyped by Trump, it was remarkable to to me that Trump never walked it back and number two how all the hissie fitters suddenly shut up when proof was produced that indeed many pets WERE disappearing, and many beloved local geese and swans as well. It wasn’t a huge “epidemic” of pet eatings” but it did happen frequently. The “new arrivals” apparently got the message after a while that they should not eat somebody else’s “Fido”!
As for consequences, if the cat was worth less than $950, a misdemeanor in CA.
If over that amount, grand theft, a felony.
That said, since the perp hasn’t been charged with anything after four days and the cat still hasn’t been returned, I think we all know where this is going.
I feel for the family.
Dog fight training?
Maybe he was going to take it to a shelter. No ID and the cat lives outside. She didn’t even notice it was gone until the next day — probably because the food bowl outside hadn’t been touched. Sounds like a regular member of the family.
Legally, if the cat was off the “owner’s” property, it is stray
The sob stories don’t end. The cat had been with the family for 6 years and yet no one noticed it was missing until the next day.. They didn’t see IT HAPPEN as the woman said, they saw it on their camera later....whatever story works...really gets old!!
You can't put a price on your pets.
“”if the cat was worth less than $950, a misdemeanor in CA.””
A Siamese? I wouldn’t give a dollar for one....
