LA County Family Pleads for Safe Return of Cat Allegedly Taken by Amazon Driver A Lakewood family is devastated and begging for the safe return of their beloved cat, Piper, after shocking home surveillance footage appeared to show an Amazon delivery driver taking the 6-year-old Siamese during a routine package drop-off on December 11. Homeowner Diane Huff-Medina says Piper—a friendly, well-known neighborhood cat—was lounging in the front yard when the driver arrived. In the footage, the delivery worker sets down a package and kneels to pet Piper. What starts as a harmless interaction quickly turns alarming. The driver can be seen attempting to lift the cat, and when Piper resists and lets out what appears to be a distressed meow, the driver grabs her by the scruff and carries her to his car before driving off. Huff-Medina immediately reported the incident to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and contacted Amazon. According to her, Amazon later confirmed it has identified the driver and launched an investigation through its third-party delivery partner. However, the family says that isn’t enough—what they need most is Piper home safely. The emotional toll has been heavy. Huff-Medina describes her three young sons as heartbroken and confused, unable to understand why anyone would take their pet. Piper has been part of the family for years—playful, affectionate, and deeply bonded with the children. While some might wonder whether the driver believed the cat was lost or needed help, Huff-Medina strongly disagrees, saying the footage shows Piper resisting and vocalizing distress. She’s now making a desperate plea to the public: if anyone knows where Piper is, or if the driver sees this—please bring her home. This story is still unfolding, and the family’s only hope is visibility.#Lakewood #LosAngelesCounty#AmazonDriver #MissingCat #CommunityAlert #PetSafety
