A DoorDash Driver Was Caught Stealing Customers' Food On CameraThe incident occurred in Oakland, California.

Most food delivery apps require drivers to take a photo of the delivery once it's been made as proof that the order was completed.
But one DoorDash driver in California tried tocheat the systemby taking a photo of pizzas he "delivered" before stealing them after the shot was taken.
A business owner in Oakland, who is choosing to remain anonymous, said that he ordered pizza for his staff in order to "cheer them up."Video footage shows the driver taking the pizzas out of his blue sedan, placing them at the door of the business, and snapping a photo. The driver then proceeded to grab the pizzas and put them back in his car, presumably stealing them for himself.
"We take this report extremely seriously and are urgently investigating," a DoorDash representative said in a statement to local outletKTVU. "Any Dasher found to have stolen food will face consequences, including deactivation."

Although the business wasn't named, the owner claimed toKTVUthat this incident was just another hit in a slew of attacks on the business, including a burglary where robbers "stole about $500 of products" and a car being driven through the building.
"I'm an ultimate optimist," the owner told the localoutlet. "But this makes me lose faith in humanity. I know there are good people out there. But the bad people right now are winning."
DoorDash did not immediately respond toEntrepreneur'srequest for additional comment.
