California residents left perplexed after packages UPS told them were lost seemingly show up for sale online

UPS may have a scandal on its hands after several expensive shipments reported as lost have turned up for sale online.

The issue came to light after 7 On Your Side, a local ABC News affiliate, reported that a Hayward, California man discovered an expensive guitar he had ordered but never received listed on a resale website and two additional Bay Area residents reached out to tell their stories.

Mike La Marca and Pam Daniels told 7 On Your Side that valuable items they shipped — a motorcycle engine supercharger and a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork — were reported lost by UPS. La Marca later found his supercharger for sale on eBay. When he contacted the seller, they said that they purchase “lost freight”.

"I was like, ‘What, is this a ring? What is going on?" Daniels said.
