Several unwanted orders of McDonald’s French fries and other greasy food have recently been delivered suddenly to houses in Los Angeles, frightening people who have no idea who is delivering them.
Since February, bags of the already-paid-for food have been mysteriously appearing via Uber Eats on neighbors’ doorsteps in the Highland Park neighborhood, igniting ideas about the gastronomic whodunit, the LA The Times stated.
Unwanted Deliveries Perplex Los Angeles Highland Park Residents
Residents of Range View Avenue in Los Angeles’ Highland Park area are confused and irritated, according to stories from the Los Angeles Times and PEOPLE, after months of sporadic UberEats deliveries.
Although orders have ranged from bottles of water to Starbucks iced matcha tea lattes, McDonald’s appears to be a favorite among the person (or people) responsible for the delivery fiasco.
Despite the fact that McDonald’s deliciously tasty fries are often difficult to refuse, one woman received three deliveries of her single order.
Another homeowner told Los Angeles’ KTLA 5 that the deliveries are half humorous and half incredibly aggravating, adding that they once received 13 orders over the course of two days.
Although there are currently no clues as to who is responsible for the anonymous delivery, locals have suggested everything from Uber Eats promos to credit card fraud.
Many hypotheses have been put up by the California community, including the likelihood that the deliveries are the result of psychological research being conducted nearby by college students or that it is a heist used by thieves to check credit card information that has been stolen.
The unsolved mystery, though, has the residents of Range View Avenue perplexed.
Uber Investigates Unwanted Deliveries
Now aware of the deliveries, Uber is looking into the situation. Several alarmed locals claimed to have received 10 to 30 deliveries recently, including KFC chicken and Starbucks iced matcha tea.
An Uber Eats representative stated the company was looking into the matter.
In May, hundreds of pounds of cooked pasta noodles sprouted inexplicably alongside a creek bed in a forested region, confusing locals in a village in New Jersey.
In a Facebook post, community activist Nina Jochnowitz estimated that there must have been more than 500 pounds of pasta discarded beside the stream in Old Bridge.
She posted pictures of the pasta that was discarded online. The variety of noodles included spaghetti and elbow macaroni. She then informed the town of the incident and stated that the pasta had been removed from the area by the local Public Works department.
