A Cuban who works as an Amazon delivery driver posted a reel on Instagram where he recounts that he was robbed of his car while trying to deliver a package, sparking an immediate debate about whether the incident is real or a prank to gain visibility.
The protagonist, identified as Javi, recounts that the client informed him that he could not enter the home because the floor had just been painted. When the Cuban returned to the vehicle with the package, the car was already gone.
"They just stole my car! They just robbed me. Look at the time. I had 25 packages left to deliver. They just stole my car! This is unbelievable!" says the Amazon delivery driver.
What raised the audience's suspicions the most was another detail: Javi tried to ask the client to show him the security cameras to identify the thieves, but the man refused.
"I tell the guy to show me the cameras to see if the ones who took the car show up, and he doesn't want to show them to me," he says in the reel.
The most popular comment on the video, with 277 "likes," points directly at the customer: "It was the same one who set that up." The theory is that the excuse of the wet ground was a trap to lure the delivery person out of the car and leave the vehicle unattended.
Other followers, on the other hand, suggest that Javi may have the bad habit of leaving the car unlocked while making quick deliveries.
"Dad, you got dizzy. When I get out of the car, it's always intermittent and safe... That's for sure, no matter where. You're dizzy in the U.S.," warns a commentator.
In previous videos of his routes, it can be seen that he used to leave the car even with the door open to save time, and this time that may have backfired on him.
The community quickly dubbed him a "salao" — a Cuban term for someone who seems to have chronic bad luck. "You’re in difficult mode every day," wrote another user. "The salado doesn’t get a day off," someone else added.
There was also criticism of Javi for his reaction to the incident. "Calling the police like a normal person would be fine. But you'd rather record it to get some views," wrote a follower.
Javi closes the video with a statement that encapsulates his disbelief: "And then they say that nothing is stolen in the United States."
The delivery job at Amazon Flex is popular among newly arrived Cubans in the United States due to its flexibility and accessibility without prior experience, although it requires the use of a personal vehicle and exposes drivers to risks like this.
It's not the first time a Cuban has lost their car while working at Amazon Flex. In October 2025, one in Arizona lost theirs in a fire and was left with a debt of a thousand dollars.
In April 2026, another Cuban Amazon delivery driver went viral for recording himself singing during his routes.
The reel was published just nine hours ago and has already accumulated over 98,000 views, while the audience eagerly awaits a second part in which Javi will provide more details about what happened.
