i had to help a driver with this in my building. my mother would sign for another tenants stuff and that tenant would always claim he never got anything, including
fedex and usps packages(which leave them outside his door). driver came up to me doing a follow up and i saw it had my mothers signature and i asked the neighbors girlfriend
which claims she received everything we ever signed for them but her boyfriend worked at a cellphone company and likes reporting his cellphones lost gets a replacement sent and claims he never got that one either. at the end i told him if he ever claims anything lost that my mother signs that i would tell lost prevention at my hub and his job about what hes doing. the mailman also told me he has had several packages reported "missing" but now he just leaves the guy a notice.

When doing a followup, i will ask what hours they will be home if they deny receiving the pkg.Then i inform them the police will be visiting to investigate a theft. This has worked a few times on people to find there missing pkg!

Again, this story is not one of your better efforts.
You have no right to ask for their ID or write their license number in the remarks. The only time I can remember being directed to ask for photo ID is when we delivered tickets to the Woodstock concert.

If it is obvious that the consignee is lying and the proof is out in plain sight you should let your mgt team take it from there. They will normally get the local police involved---it's amazing how "I ain't got my package yet" becomes "oh, yeah, we did get that package".

We are supposed to ask for photo ID when delivering A8's.

We are only supposed to ask for ID if the consignee does not appear to be of legal age.
That's not the note that pops up in the diad, it says Check ID. I don't recall there being an asterisk saying only if they look young.
One of the routes I run, a note on several of the houses says to check ID. This may not be something that he's directed to do, but it might be a CYA type of thing, nothing wrong with that

If a customer stops you on the street and asks you if you have their package you can ask for ID to confirm that package is for them.
I have stops that in my DIAD indicate that I must check the ID before delivering.
I even have a house on my route that I'm not allowed to deliver to. Everything gets refused per security. The consignee even come to the customer counter to get their packages. Now, they only get a couple per year, but it doesn't matter even if it was a shipper release. RTS everything.

Deplorable.
I have an identical story from years ago only it was the young child that ratted out his welfare-scamming mother. Kid answers the door (in the middle of the ghetto no less - I've threatened to break my daughters hands if they ever answer the door and I live in a nice neighborhood), and down the stairs comes mom about 45 seconds later. I present her with the follow-up, explain to her what the items in question are. Before she can even think of a lie, the kid goes "oh yeah, we got that mom, remember"? I couldn't help myself and replied "yeah, that's precisely what I was thinking, sign here..."
Thieves, man...

I had similar thinks happen when Grandma was home and says, "yeah, her daughter got that" when her daughter isn't home. And I also had people tell me to never leave package with their kids because the kids steal from them.

I got your beat, I had a pastor say that he never received his diamond crucifix. It was a high value, sig req. I walked into the rectory, into his office, got his Signature. 4 weeks later i get a follow up, read description seeing it was a black crucifix with a diamond in the middle. Pastor says, I never got it. I look down at his chest, and there is the thing hanging. I said you have some nerve to lie being a pastor. He wouldn't sign it, so I called LP, as well as a friend of mine who was on the local police force. Next day, LP, the police officer, and I show up and what do you know, He found the cross that was around his freaking neck.
Moral of the story, no one can be trusted.
