Ok, I admit it is early for me and I have only had ONE Diet Pepsi so far this morning, but how does this math from the second story work?
" considering more than half of the stolen packages (52%) are Amazon deliveries, according to a May 2023 study by Forbes Home, followed by postal service packages at 43% and UPS at 38%.
FedEx is fourth on the list at 25%, followed by DHL deliveries at 10% and “other” at 3%, according to Forbes home."
The last time I checked, 52+43+38+25+10+3 was just a little bit more than 100% of the packages.

The extra 71% were committing return fraud.

The information from the original source - Forbes - looked like this:
It gets quoted to be this:
Sigh…the innumeracy on the net is shameful.

Some people were reporting multiple thefts from multiple providers.
This is a legit result for a survey where I might have had packages from each shipping option stolen, and would report “one of each”.
This is not “innumeracy”, this is a lack of statistical sophistication in the beholder’s eyes.

Nope, the writer just bleeped up the interpretation of the story they referred to/“quoted” which was actually correct. It referred to what company buyers had package stolen from!

Oh, but sir, I don’t have any money to pay for this package… What’s that? It’s already paid for? OK, but I don’t have a pen to sign for it… It’s an electronic signature? Well, what do you need that I can not give you to force a compromising accommodation? Nothing? Ugh, fine, just leave it by the door, I’m gonna go watch Netflix.

The crazy thing is how can you even compare carriers. It’s not like a thief walks up to a house and is like oops can’t steal this one fedex delivered it I’ll have to come back later 
Amazon has the most packages stolen because they deliver the most packages. I suppose dhl could take these stats and run a great PR campaign about why their packages are safest and least likely to be stolen.

Yup, I have a perfect record of zero shipments stolen. Mostly because I have never done any shipments. 0 out of 0 is still 0 stolen.
