Furious man threatens to call police on his neighbour in a scathing letter after they sneakily collected his $120 takeaway meal for themselves
- A furious man has penned a note after his neighbour stole a DoorDash meal
- The man was looking forward to his salt and pepper prawns and wagyu beef
- But the $120 meal was stolen by his neighbour so he was left hungry
A furious man has revealed he was ‘left to starve’ while his neighbour feasted on wagyu beef and salt and pepper prawns after collecting his $120 DoorDash order.
He said the menu items were his favourites in an angry letter advising the thief to pay-up or face the police on stealing charges.
‘If you happened to be the one who accidentally claimed my order as yours, given it cost me $120, I’d love you to get in touch pronto and arrange reimbursement,’ he wrote in the scathing letter.

He also revealed he knows the identity of the thief and had seen him collecting the meal after going through the building’s security footage.
The note was posted in the building for all of his neighbours to see, in it the hungry letter writer explained he would head to the police station and lodge a formal complaint if the matter wasn’t resolved.
‘If you don’t reimburse me, I’ll have to do that time consuming video/police report thing,’ he said.
He went on to say he didn’t want to name them publicly, or even reveal their floor number as it could lead to embarrassment.
He instead referred to them as ‘someone’ in the longwinded letter.
‘If you (reimburse me), I’ll assume it was an innocent/drunk/whatever error. If you don’t want to get in touch with me directly, all good, just give (blanked out name) the money and he can pass it on to me.’
A third neighbour decided the note was the most ‘delightfully’ passive aggressive thing he had seen and posted it on Reddit.
And many people felt bad for the angry, hungry letter-writer noting they would be furious if their meal was stolen on delivery.
‘If I had $120 worth of food stolen I’d be beyond hangry,’ one woman wrote in support.
‘I would be smashing doors and wrecking the place,’ said another.
‘I can’t stand scumbag neighbours. I’ve dealt with many, my next door neighour had her bike stolen from the bike storage locker under the building. In order to access this you need a keyfob for the gate. So you know its someone you share the elevator with. I hope the sh*td**k that took this guy’s meal is embarrassed and pays up.’
Others revealed they have also been left hungry after their deliveries didn’t arrive.
‘I once had a very long day and had skipped lunch and was starving. I ordered a salad and they took forever to come then when they dropped off the food in our lobby someone else took it. I waited in case it was a mistake but they didn’t bring it back. I wanted to cry,’ one woman said.
‘One week after I arrived in Oz, I was in quarantine in Queensland and the food was awful so I ordered delivery once per day. One day I had the same story as you except the driver ate my food. I ended up yelling, hitting my head on the wall, cause I hadn’t eaten all day.’
One woman pointed outa flaw in the delivery system which allows for so much food to go to the wrong people.
‘People are incredibly bad at the simple act of checking a name. Unless they’re literally trained covert agents, I guarantee they will just say: “Hi, are you Bob?”, and then Terry the thief will say “yep”.”
Some couldn’t believe the man’s restraint and said they would have ‘hand-delivered’ the note to the thief’s door.
