A Los Angeles County resident is still looking for her missing cat after an Amazon delivery driver was seen on surveillance video appearing to take the animal from her home earlier this month. <\/p>\n

After the incident, the driver is no longer working for Amazon, according to the company, which called it a \u201chorrible act.\u201d<\/p>\n

In footage posted to Facebook<\/a>, someone wearing a vest can be seen placing a package on the porch of a Lakewood home Thursday night. Afterward, the individual moves into the home\u2019s front yard, kneels on the ground and tries to pick up the cat, which the post said is named Piper.<\/p>\n

In the video, the person eventually grabs the cat and walks away. The video shows the individual holding the animal by the scruff of its neck. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe just want her back home safely,\u201d the post said. The post\u2019s author didn\u2019t respond to The Times\u2019 request for comment Wednesday. <\/p>\n

Amazon said in a statement that the driver is \u201cno longer eligible to deliver to our customers.\u201d <\/p>\n

Amazon said in a statement that the company had apologized to the customer. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re in touch with the Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s [Department] to share relevant information with them,\u201d the statement said, \u201cand we\u2019ll continue to support their investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Los Angeles County resident is still looking for her missing cat after an Amazon delivery driver was…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":99367,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[8487,54186,1592,25316,54187,1804,9182,48,52,51,47,22680,50,49,54188,5767,6247,54185,3025,1791,5050],"class_list":["post-99366","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-amazon","tag-amazon-delivery-driver","tag-animal","tag-cat","tag-comment-wednesday","tag-company","tag-customer","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-county-resident","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-porch","tag-post","tag-request","tag-socal-home","tag-statement","tag-times","tag-video"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99366","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=99366"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99366\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/99367"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=99366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=99366"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=99366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
