'An Uber Eats driver nicked my £40 takeaway - I only got a refund because of CCTV'

A man from Blackpool claims to have been "shocked" after an Uber Eats delivery driver snuck off with his £40 Chinese takeaway - claiming he'd left the food by the front door. Now he's warning others to remain vigilant against similar scams.

Jon Cawdron, who runs The Sands Hotel on Blackpool promenade, believes he wouldn't have had a refund if he hadn’t managed to capture the incident on CCTV.

The footage, taken on Sunday evening at around 6:20pm, shows the driver taking a snap of the delivery at the door of the guest house, as a means of confirming that had been delivered.
