Residents of Los Angeles' Highland Park neighborhood have been overwhelmed by a large, continuous influx of unwanted Uber Eats deliveries, according to a UPI article published Monday, March 20.

Neighborhood residents have received up to 13 deliveries per day from popular fast-food chains including McDonald's, Taco Bell and Starbucks for over three weeks. The deliveries arrive at all hours of the day and night, leaving residents both frustrated and confused.

"When it became too much food at once, we'd try to find places to donate it or give it away," Highland Park resident William Neal told KTLA-TV.

"Most of us are vegetarian here, so we couldn't really eat them," said fellow resident MJ Lat. "We'd give them to contractors on the street or we'd just walk them down to this little, local food pantry."

One resident put a "no deliveries" sign on his front door, but he still received up to 10 bags a day. Other residents have said that the names on the orders didn't match any of their own names, and many of them didn't even have Uber Eats accounts. Other delivery services, such as DoorDash and Postmates, have been involved as well, although contacting said businesses' customer service representatives has proven very difficult.

Some meal recipients have tried calling the phone numbers listed on the orders, but each line has been out of service. Each pre-paid order also included a tip for the driver. An Uber representative has said that the company is currently investigating the source of the orders. While neighbors don't know why someone would send so much food to their homes, many of them believe that it's a prank or an attempt at charity, although none of them view it as malicious in nature.

"I don't think anybody has seen it as anything sinister – it's just varying degrees of annoyance," Neal told the Los Angeles Times.
