Two iPhones, valued at a total of $700, were reported stolen before the Darien man who bought them even got a chance to see them delivered, police said. Darien police gave this account of the incident:

A Brookside Drive man told police on May 30 that he had bought through the Internet two iPhone 7 models for $350 each. He was given a UPS tracking number. On May 29, he received a text message from UPS telling him that the phones had been delivered at 1:48 p.m., and at about 2:30 p.m., the man’s children arrived home and got all the mail from the mailbox. The package that was supposed to be holding the iPhones was there, but it appeared to have been tampered with — the packing tape had been cut, and only the bubble-wrap and charging cables were inside.

FedEx says it delivered a package to a Post Road resident living near the road’s intersection with Hollow Tree Ridge Road, but the resident says she never got it. The woman told police she ordered the package from Amazon on May 7, but when she didn’t see it by May 16, she contacted FedEx to see what happened to it. She was told it had been delivered at 9:18 a.m. on May 10. The woman said she was home most of that day and has three dogs that she believed would have barked if someone came to her front porch. Police asked neighbors if they had seen anything suspicious, but nothing came of that effort.
