Who's sending mystery Uber Eats orders to LA neighborhoods? The plot thickens

In Highland Park, the errant orders were mostly met with bemusement, as The Times previously reported. But in Westwood Hills, an affluent neighborhood nestled between the UCLA campus and 405 Freeway, the free McNuggets were hardly just free McNuggets.

As deliveries from McDonald's, Starbucks and other restaurants piled up on people's doorsteps in late January, Terry Tegnazian, a member of the board of the Westwood Hills Property Owners Association, began hearing from worried neighbors, including one man who thought there could be "something nefarious and criminal going on."

The resident, Tegnazian said, wondered whether the orders, which were paid for and in the names of other people, were being sent "as a way of casing houses, to see if anybody was home for a possible burglary."

I received an Uber order of sushi that I never ordered.

Asians tend to keep a lot of cash in their houses.

I know the Indians who live here are prime targets for that reason.

2 rules for happy living:

1 Get the f*** out of L.A.
2 Stay the f*** out of L.A.

—”I received an Uber order of sushi that I never ordered.”

The John Beresford Tipton fund must have been pillaged by drug-addled descendants.

Free food is delivered and they’re complaining?

Nope, with all of the crazies out there, any unsolicited food that shows up on my doorstep is suspected of being poisoned. And as long as I can get the food myself, I will. Don’t really even want it delivered if I ask.

I know several people who never received their Uber Eats orders. Delivered to another address.

That’s probably what is happening here. Lazy delivery drivers.

I don’t live in any of those cities, but do live not too far away.

About a month ago I received a large order from Chick Fil-A on my doorstep - enough for about eight people including milkshakes and other drinks. Left on my porch.

Asked several neighbors and not a one of them had ordered a thing. At the time, I figured the driver had put in a wrong address in the wrong neighborhood. Now I’m not so sure.

Ended up giving the food to the kids next door.

LOL. The driver looked suspiciously familiar. A lot like Michael Anthony.

That made me laugh!

Or perhaps his descendants?

Yep, I see something unexpected on my doorstep, and I assume it’s laced with Fentanyl or something.

Possibly, or the Uber deliverers are actually second story men who case houses to rob. I will never order delivery for that reason, and it increases the odds an intruder will be shot.

Probably from "In Fisherman" - (bait).

Yeah, I sure as heck didn’t order it; I do consider it “bait.”
