CCTV captured a delivery driver dropping a package to Mr Margiolakis doorstep.
But video shows a woman pulling up to the house 30 seconds later, and taking the package for herself. It was an android TV box for a friend of mine for their birthday, Mr Margiolakis said. Unfortunately I had to ring them up and tell them sorry, you ll be receiving it a bit late .
Mr Margiolakis experience is not a unique one, with a Berwick resident also falling victim to parcel pinchers. It was an underfloor fan - useless to the thief but it cost me $1000, they said.
Parcel volume in Victoria is up 150 per cent on last year compared to an average of 90 per cent around the rest of the country.
