This is probably one of the most civilized ways to steal something. It hurts no one and is just a non-discriminatory tax on pretty much everyone in LA since most people order Amazon packages. I think of this like click fraud, a while ago Google decided to stop combatting it and just "let it happen" [1]. It turned out to be a winning strategy.

  By that logic carrying a bag of nails should be a crime since you might inadvertently drop one on a public road where a UPS truck might get a flat tire and as a result not be able to deliver someone's insulin.

    If you're carrying a bag of nails around for the sole purpose of "accidentally" drop on a public road to cause damage to passing vehicles... ... you're not seriously trying to argue that it shouldn't be a crime right?

      Of course not, what an absurd interpretation..
