WWYD? Groceries delivered to wrong address and kept by neighbor

I live in a garden-style condo community and just received the text that my Whole Foods order had been delivered. The photo in the message is not my front door but there were several identifying items - a mat, bike and pair of shoes. DH ran out right away and was able to place it as the same unit number in the next building over. The problem is that the bags had already been taken inside by the owner. This seriously happened within a couple of minutes! Whole Foods drivers don't even knock when they leave your order so the occupants clearly worked fast.
We don't know these neighbors at all or even what they look like. DH wasn't sure if he should knock but ended up doing nothing. I wouldn't necessarily want to food anyway after it had been in someone else's home. I know I can get a refund, but this situation still aggravates me as it was over $100 worth of food, some of it slated for dinner tonight. WWYD in this situation if you were me or the neighbor? Would you automatically take in and keep an order you didn't place/pay for? Would you confront someone who took your order? |

| I would have knocked on the door and asked for it. |

| I would knock and tell them it's your order. Show the photo. Otherwise, how would they know? Maybe they don't know where it was supposed to go, or maybe one spouse assumes the other placed the order. |

| If the wrong order showed up on my doorstep I definitely wouldn't leave it outside. I'd bring it in and then figure out what to do. |

| Ha! I have a friend that this happens to all the time. Same neighbor. He finds the Blue Apron boxes in their recycling bin. |

| I would just get WF to refund or deliver a newly packed order. It was their mistake. I wouldn’t go out of my way to confront the neighbor because what if they get aggressive? |

| Knock. "Hi, I am trying to track down a missing grocery delivery. I thought this photo looked like your door. Any chance it showed up?" |

Um, you knock on the door and tell your neighbor the situation. Why is this such an inconceivable concept?
They're probably being nice and refrigerating your perishables for you and brought inside the other stuff to discourage porch pirates. They're probably posting on Nextdoor right now about a mistaken grocery delivery or hoping somebody knows where Jane Doe Llives bc they have griceries. |

| Why wouldn't your husband just knock on the door and ask right when it happened??? |

yeah, this. I've done this before, though initially I didn't know it was a wrong order since we also order from the same store. I called the store and they said keep it because they can't redeliver it. I believe they sent a new delivery to the person it was for. |

| Do grocery deliveries have your address labeled right on them like Amazon packages do? I always check addresses before I open stuff. We get lots of packages for same number next street over. |

ewwww i would not take food after someone else had it. You have no idea if they wash hands or have animals
or took a nibble. Just have it redelivered and be done with it. |
