Prior to his arrival, rearrange your entryway by removing your current furniture, and replace It with rugs, chairs etc from another room. This gives the appearance that It's not your home.

When the driver arrives and asks to take photos, allow him to go ahead and when he leaves, place everything back to Its original state. As such, If they try to compare their photos against your current layout, they will not match, hence It'll render their Investigation Inconclusive.

Unfortunately I may not be home at the time of delivery and I can't ask the housemates to do this for obvious reasons.. :/ I can always add rugs afterwards to show its not my place if needed..

I understand your position.

As long as the photos don't match your entryway, you can do what you've suggested above.

I've done it all and it's been delivered by FedEx, the reply given was they take these thinfs very seriously and will conduct an investigation with photographic evidence and geolocative data, and they'll report it to the police.

They asked for me to ask neighbours before continuing with the above. What shall I do?

If it ever comes to that and they come a Knockin - police that is, and/or anyone else the flatmates might answer it and say otherwise which obviously can't happen..

What do you suggest?
