March 20 (UPI) - - Residents of a Los Angeles neighborhood said they have been flooded with mystery Uber Eats deliveries they did not request.
Locals in the Range View Avenue area of the city's Highland Park neighborhood said they have been
receiving up to 13 deliveries a day from McDonald's, Taco Bell, Starbucks and other eater- ies through Uber Eats during the
past three weeks.
The residents said the deliver- ies show up at all hours of the day and night.
"When it became too much food at once, we'd try to find places to donate it or give it away," local man William Neal told KTLA- TV.
Some of the recipients said they tried calling the phone num- bers listed on the orders, but they were all out of service. They noted the pre- paid orders always included
a tip for the driv- er.
A representative for Uber, the delivery service's parent company, said officials are investigating the origins of the mystery orders.
Neighbors said they do not know why someone would be sending so much food to their homes.
"I don't think any- body has seen it as anything sinis- ter -- it's just varying degrees of annoyance," Neal told the Los Angeles Times.
French Bulldogs Take Top Spot On AKC List, Ending 31-year Streak For Labradors
By Ben Hooper
March 15 (UPI) -- The American Kennel Club said registration data from 2022 revealed French bulldogs are now the most popular variety of purebred dogs in the country, ending the Labrador retriever's 31-year reign.
The AKC said Labrador retrievers have topped its yearly list of the most popu- lar dog breeds in the United States for 31 consecutive years, but French
bulldogs took the top spot for the first time in data from 2022.
French bulldogs were the No. 2 breed in 2021, and labs were booted down to that spot for 2022.
"Breaking the lab's top-dog status of over three decades is no small feat," the AKC said in its announcement. "The Frenchie is a smart, com- pact breed, and they can fit into various different lifestyles, perfect for people all across the country."
Golden retrievers, German shepherds, poodles, bull- dogs, Rottweilers, beagles, dachshunds and German shorthaired pointers round out the Top 10.
