SINGAPORE: A woman claims that a teenage boy has stolen the food she ordered that had been brought by a food delivery rider and left outside her home. What makes it worse is that this reportedly did not only happen once, but twice.
On the COMPLAINT SINGAPORE Facebook page on Wednesday night (Oct 25), a woman named Eyna Ariffin posted a video showing the footage from a hallway. In the first few seconds of the clip, the face of a young male can be seen on camera, leaving very shortly afterward. The time stamp on the video is from earlier on the same day.
“Hi. Stealing food? Last month steal Monster curry, today steal geprek. I lost almost $50 worth of food as of today. First, i want to find the parents. Whose child is this? The parents if inside here better pm me. What is your kid doing?” wrote Ms Eyna.
She also uploaded a screenshot from the food delivery service, with a message letting her know that her order from Burger Geprek at Woodlands North Plaza, had arrived. There’s also a photo of a bag with food containers hanging on a hook on a door. The message and the photo were time stamped 3:24 am. But the young thief had made away with the food by 3:32 am, a mere eight minutes after delivery.
In an edit to the post, Ms Eyna added, “Edit: dn worry, this one extra. Because im petty and i greatly despise people messing w my food. Not food. No. Just no. NOPE. Naaah. NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE. Also, i want the parents present. I still cannot accept. Until now i havent eat. IM VERY UPSET I DIDNT GET TO EAT WHAT I WANTED YTD.”
Coconuts reported that the first time her food went missing was just last month, on Sept 22. The Independent Singapore has reached out to Ms Eyna for further update or comment. Netizens who have commented on her post have encouraged her to file a police report. She responded by saying she had already done so, and that it was the boy’s parents that she wanted to speak to.
Others encouraged her to receive food orders from delivery riders personally, but Ms Eyna answered that this would not always be convenient, especially for late-night deliveries. One commenter, however, told her she should order again and set a trap so she could catch the thief in the act. /TISG
