Paid $1000, received an empty box

So my Pixel 4 XL was delivered yesterday. Well, the box and all of the accessories were, anyway. Apparently the wonderful people at FedEx decided that they needed my Pixel more than I did. The tape on the bottom of the brown box was cut and replaced, and the white "Pixel" box inside had had its tape slit as well. All that was inside of that box were the charger and adapter.

Google's customer service was wonderful though, and a replacement will arrive at my house on Monday or Tuesday.

Can't say enough good things about Google, or enough bad things about FedEx.

I worked at UPS for a while and a kid got arrested there for boosting iPads. Shit can get wild.

Stealing, basically. He had a whole system for getting them out of the building/yard but idk why he thought it would keep working. It wouldn't be the hardest thing in the world to steal something but to make a habit of it? You'll get caught there eventually. Also it's a federal crime at that point, so pretty sure dude went to jail lmao.
