This food delivery came with a side of confusion.

A woman said she ordered food from DoorDash and the driver dropped off her food and then vandalized her home.

“Ordered food today… the dasher came and dropped it off, but then wrote 514 above my garage in permanent marker,” wrote Reddit user Abigail who goes by the handle yellowenthusiastt.

Also in the Redditor’s post is a photo of the vandalism along with security footage showing the DoorDash driver’s bizarre act in broad daylight. 

In the security video, the driver, whose face has been hidden to protect his identity, delivers the order to the undisclosed location and then goes to his car to grab a marker. He then goes back to the woman’s house and writes “514” before going back into his car, leaving the homeowner perplexed.

Redditors were quick to share their theories about what the numbers might mean. Several people speculated that the driver might be marking the house so it could be robbed at a later date. 

“As someone from a South American s–thole, here in my country when a thief sees a house that can have stuff of value, they mark it to rob it later, usually with more people, they use different symbols and code to inform about what’s in the house (ex: dog, armed owner, high end tech, art, etc..),” someone explained, 

“I don’t know how probable that is where you live at, but that’s the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw it, stay safe,” they continued. 

Abigail thanked the poster and said while she doesn’t “live in the nicest/safest of places” she “can’t imagine someone doing this here,” and said she’s happy she doesn’t live alone. 

Abigail explained she reported the incident to DoorDash and the police. The Post reached out to DoorDash for comment. 

Another Redditor seconded the opinion that the 514 could be a sign of future theft.

“If it’s a code for theft, it could be that your car in the video is being marked to have the catalytic converter stolen. Hyundais, in particular, have very easily accessible catalytic converters. We had someone provide a service at our house recently, and the next day, the catalytic converter was gone. While we can’t prove it was related to the previous service, I suspect that some of the jobs that come to houses have people keeping an eye out for those who would come by later. Probably get a cut,” the poster said. 

Several commenters shared concerns about human trafficking, though the poster said the order came from her boyfriend’s account and there wasn’t an obvious indication that a woman lived at her residence.

“hi! so the order came from my boyfriends door dash account. (his name is typically masculine sounding ig) so i don’t think they had any clear indication of any women living here…again i really don’t believe this was intentionally malicious (unless they just really didn’t like their tip) but we did tip them. but yes, he completed the order then went in w the sharpie,” explained Abigail.

Other Redditors’ theories were much more benign.

“Is your address number posted on your mailbox? Or are the numbers he wrote your street number? Maybe he had trouble finding the house and wanted to help the next dasher out, but what a weird way to do it…? That’s all I got ????‍♂️,” someone wrote.

However, the original poster explained that 514 is not her address.

“Did you specifically tip $5.14? Maybe an act of vandalism because they were unhappy with the tip,” someone else speculated.

And one commenter went so far as to say the 514 could have a positive spiritual implication. 

“514 is a ‘guardian angel number’ so they could be a religious nut, which would align with writing it above the entrance to a house like religion often did to ward off evil. Always a chance he was in his mind “doing you a religious favor,’” another wrote. 

The driver’s motives remain a mystery. 

This isn’t the first time a DoorDash driver has been caught on camera doing something uncouth.
