Indeed. He said the only way to get in is to drill out the lock. I
wonder whether Amazon got the driver to return to base to pick up
another van. He could hardly carry on his round with potentially
thousands of pounds of goods in an unlocked van.


Just because it was painted "Amazon Logistics" on the side
doesn't necessarily mean it was owned by Amazon. Amazon contract
all their deliveries out, allowing competing suppliers to beat
each other down on price for the privilege of having Amazon
livery on their vans, which they doubtless pay for themselves.
Even in quiet times when the vans are sitting in the yard
and the zero hours drivers are sat at home by the phone.
What Amazon do have is first class tracking and comms which
allows them to keep tabs on what everyone's and everything is
up to. And while Amazon summoned up the locksmith to get the
van back on the road as quickly as possible it will have been
the delivery co. who doubtless will have picked up the tab.

City Link anyone ?
