A South Florida homeowner is speaking out after surveillance video caught a UPS driver carelessly tossing a package, causing its contents to spill out.
"It was surprising, it was the last thing I expected, we usually have good luck with UPS, generally they bring the packages, they set them on the doorstep," homeowner Kevin Halvorsen said. "This one particular time they decided just to pitch them over the gate."
Halvorsen, who lives in Morningside, said the delivery guy had good reason to take better care of his packages.
"Two of the boxes were marked heavy, and the other one had a big red fragile sticker on there and all three of them just got chucked over the fence," he said. "The gate was unlocked, they could've easily walked them in. I even noticed that they happened to have a helper there with them, and they still didn't bother to properly deliver the packages."
Inside one of the tossed boxes was handgun ammunition Halvorsen had ordered for target practice. Nothing actually broke, but the impact scattered cartridges across the brick pavement.
"The safety issue of that is something you really don't want to throw around. And the boxes were clearly marked that they were small arms ammunition," Halvorsen said.
NBC 6 contacted UPS about what happened and a public relations manager responded "we're investigating the incident" in an email.

Halvorsen said he also contacted UPS but didn't get any answers.
"It really seams like they just don't care," he said.
