I ordered some stuff from amazon and collected them from the amazon locker. Anyway I never knew where to key in my pickup code so I pressed some metal buttons but these wasn’t the correct buttons.

I realised I needed to enter my code into the touchscreen. Because I pressed the metal buttons it seemed to have set an alarm off, I panicked so I took my parcels and drove off. Should the alarm just turn off on its own, will I get into trouble with amazon? I’m so worried!

So you have an alarm ringing, people possibly observing someone running with a package in their arms and taking off - I hate to break it to you but on the outside looking in, it appears you stole something and the police may very well be involved

I never ran I walked, I walked back to my car and drove off. I actually just went back to the locker and the alarm is no longer going off, should I still be worried?

I don't know, why not ask the police or if the locker is in a store ask the clerk

No. First, you did nothing illegal. It's not clear the alarm results in a call to police. More likely, police only become involved if Amazon determines a crime was committed (missing packages/locker damaged). My guess is nobody complained, nothing was missing or damaged and a the alarm was reset along with a dozen other false alarms that day. Business as usual.

Some tech might have reviewed security video and laughed at your discomfort, but probably not even that happened.

In all the crime series on TV, the criminal always seems to return to the site of the crime :).

I wonder if the Amazon lockers have video surveillance ?

Well if they do have video surveillance they will see I done nothing wrong, I collected my parcels then left, the locker is in a shop and no one seemed concerned and the lockers alarm went off when I returned.

Do you think the police would have been called?
