    I wouldn't expect the driver to look at the  labels on the parcels, especially in the present circumstances when he would not be handling them more  than necessary.. He would put them in his van and deliver the load to the depot. So I don't think you can accuse the driver  of theft.
    From there they would go into the system and be dealt with by the  depot staff.
    What happened to them then is the problem.  
    Would you not think that UPS labels should raise a question?  I do agree that the depot should take the problem on board though.

    It crossed my mind that I might pursue them for theft 
    Theft requires criminal intent. Picking up parcels by mistake isn't a crime.

    In any event, you can't "pursue them for theft", the police and/or public prosecutors do that (and are unlikely to be interested).
    Any ideas about what I might do then?
