It was clearly marked "Fragile"!
The package was "delivered" via "air" a few months ago. The company logo was clearly marked on his vehicle (visible on another photo). Efforts to register a complaint with their 'customer service' resulted in numerous runarounds.
With Christmas just a month away, shipping of gift packages is about to shift into overdrive. With the proliferation of security cameras, many 'porch pirates' have regretted their attempted thievery.
YouTube features videos of several interrupted episodes. Yet, many 'shoppers' have not been deterred. A few years ago, we shipped Christmas goodies to family in a nearby urban center. Sometime in January, hearing no acknowledgment, we inquired and were told the sad story of theft.
The fellow above was either unaware of the camera that caught his misconduct or just did not care. Fortunately, the package contents escaped breakage.

This is NOT just a problem in our fair land. Everywhere we went this past summer, whether in England or Europe, there were signs asking customers to be kind to the help as it was impossible to hire the number needed.
In a couple of instances, the hires were pretty bad ... but the sign made us realize that the choice was bad service or no service ... much as with your delivery person, I suspect.
