It's rare that you'll ever find someone complaining about free food, but residents of one Los Angeles neighborhood are completely fed up with the unsolicited, free Uber Eats deliveries they've received from McDonald's and other restaurants.
According to reports from the Los Angeles Times and PEOPLE, residents of Range View Avenue in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles are perplexed and annoyed following months of random Uber Eats deliveries.
Although orders have included everything from Starbucks iced matcha tea lattes to bottles of water, McDonald's seems to be a favorite among the person (or persons) behind the delivery debacle. While it's typically hard to resist the allure of Mickey D's irresistibly savory fries, one woman received three deliveries of just a single order of McDonald's fries.
Another resident, who revealed that they once received 13 orders over a two-day span, told Los Angeles' KTLA 5 that the deliveries are "half funny and half really annoying."
So far there are no leads on who exactly is behind the anonymous deliveries, but residents have thrown around everything from Uber Eats promotions to credit card fraud.
"I think it's low-grade criminals trying to scam credit cards and see if they work," Richie Kulchar, a resident who has received numerous deliveries, told KTLA 5.
Uber is currently aware of the deliveries and is investigating the matter.
"The reports of unsolicited deliveries are concerning. We have banned accounts related to recent orders in Highland Park and continue to take action. Uber has a dedicated public safety team that is standing by to work with police," the company revealed.
