In other words, if the package has Amazon tape on it, that's a bad argument. If it's got WeMailMedicine Inc. packing label on it, that's a whole 'nother story.


OK, but reasonably forseeing the consequences still applies.
Oh, if you drive drunk, you can definitely get in a great deal of trouble even without hitting anyone. It's a pretty bad idea, even if you're certain you won't hit anyone else. Statistically, it's dangerous, so it's not tolerated.

Amazon owns Pillpack, and thus, ships medicine. Also food and other things that could reasonably be important to the person ordering them. Their biggest competitor, Walmart, of course also ships medicines, foods, etc. I don't think it's reasonable to suppose that thieves can be sure to only steal things that will not seriously harm anyone.

And, in any case, this chap's countermeasure is fairly mild. He is causing them some inconvenience, not bodily harm or the like. It's on par with the inconvenience they cause others, and is quite just.
