An Amazon delivery driver was caught on camera turning a Midwest couple's immaculate front lawn into her own private driveway - steering a blue Toyota straight over the grass before carrying a package just yards to the front porch.
Jaw-dropping surveillance footage shows the driver bypassing the Magills' actual driveway and paved walkway at their Indiana farm property, instead cutting across the bright green lawn at around 7.30am on June 21.
The car can be seen leaving a dark, looping trail across the freshly mowed grass as it made its way toward the front of the home.
At one point, the driver appears to make a three-point turn carving a even more tire tracks into the grass, leaving a broad arc through the soft turf and a crisscross pattern of tire marks behind.
The vehicle then comes to a stop directly in front of the house despite the concrete path to the porch being clearly visible just a few feet away.
The driver, who appears to be wearing an Amazon delivery vest, gets out and retrieves a cardboard package from the car.

She is then seen walking across the lawn with the box before carefully placing it on the Magills' front porch.
But instead of treating the property with the same care shown to the parcel, the driver left the grass with multiple tire tracks, with even more created by a three-point turn.
Brian Magill, 49, and Elisha Magill, 47, own the Indiana farm property and run a YouTube channel together.
The couple's footage shows their large, neatly maintained front yard, bordered by a driveway and a clearly defined footpath leading to the entrance.
The driver could have parked by the road or used the driveway before making the short walk to the door.
Instead, the footage shows her taking her vehicle across the lawn and stopping beside the front steps.

In a statement to the Daily Mail, Amazon public relations manager Jesus Garcia said the company considered the driver's actions unacceptable.
'We hold delivery partners to high standards, and the actions shown in the video are clearly unacceptable,' Garcia said.
'We'll address this matter with the driver and/or driver's employer.'
Garcia said that delivery drivers are not necessarily employed directly by Amazon.
Delivery drivers are not Amazon employees,’ he said. ‘Amazon contracts with third party businesses and flex drivers to deliver packages.’
It was not immediately clear whether the driver was working for a contracted delivery company or as an Amazon Flex driver, or whether the Magills would be compensated for the damage to their lawn.
