BOLO: Amazon Driver Who Stole a Sweet 16 Party Cake

From the Slidell Police Department

This story "takes the cake" . . . literally!

Slidell Police are currently investigating an unusually sweet crime that has left one local family with more questions than candles.

Early Monday (April 21, 2025) evening, a video surfaced showing an Amazon delivery driver making a standard package drop-off and then taking a not-so-standard detour into the homeowner’s garage. While inside, the driver helped himself to a birthday cake stored in the garage refrigerator and then casually loaded it into his delivery vehicle before driving off — leaving behind a very confused family.

 

The cake was meant for a Sweet 16 party for the homeowner's daughter. Instead, the celebration was put on pause as the family discovered their cake had gone missing — and watched in disbelief as the security video revealed it had gone mobile.

Slidell Police investigators are working closely with Amazon to identify the driver, but we’re also asking for the public’s help in identifying this cake crook.

This is undoubtedly one of the more unusual cases we’ve seen, and while it may sound like a punchline, cake theft is still a crime. 

We’re not sure if Jeff Bezos offers same-day refunds for stolen birthday cakes, but we hope to deliver justice just as fast.
