A man has come home from work to find about 500 used tyres neatly stacked on his driveway after a mystery delivery he never ordered.
While Harjeet Singh Rai and his wife were at work, two men arrived at their Blacktown, western Sydney house just before 10am on Wednesday.
One by one, the men rolled tyres from a big white truck onto the property’s driveway in the bizarre delivery, reported 9 News.
Some tyres were rolled through the couple’s garden bed on their way to the end of the driveway, which sits at the side of the house.
The tyres kept being unloaded until an estimated 500 of them had filled the couple’s car space, stretching almost the length of the house.
The two men, wearing gloves, stacked them up against the couple’s wheelie bins at the end of the driveway and against the wall of the house.
It took four hours to unload and stack the tyres, which caused a stir with neighbours.
‘I said to my husband, we’re in the wrong type of business, we’ve got to go into tyres to build a house like this,’ one said.
When Mr Singh Rai arrived home later that day, he thought at first he had arrived at the wrong house.
‘I was shocked,’ he said.

Mr Rai’s friend chipped in: ‘First I started laughing, then we take things seriously, when you see the quantity, it’s crazy,’
The delivery of so many tyres to a residential home was evidently a mistake but the rightful owner has still not been found by Mr Singh Rai.
‘Come, take this back. We’re not going to say anything to you guys because you stack up nicely, so take nicely,’ he said.
