Comment on Police just made me find out not all Amazon lockers located outside are available 24/7.

  So you are in Austria and close to the border, or in a neighboring country and ordered to a locker in Austria?

  In a neighboring country. We don’t have Amazon lockers here, and the international delivery is just way too damn expensive.

  Is the locker on a private property that is not open to the public after 7 and that is why they were asking?

  Probably. I noticed a private property sign after they stopped me, though it didn’t have any times on it. That’s all I could tell from it. “Penny”, “privatplatz”, and some other text, but no times. I tried to check it on street view, but the sign wasn’t there yet. Just a regular supermarket parking lot.
  But also they just left without any warning, so maybe… ?
  The police was roaming around there a lot, as if they got paid by the mile. I mean, if something bad happened I wouldn’t have to call the police, just stand next to a road and wait 5 minutes.

  Do you have an idea why he was confused to hear you are from a certain city?

  I am not 100% sure he was confused, but it was a quieter, uncertain OK or “oh”. Perhaps he didn’t expect someone going there at night just to pick up a parcel.

    Yeah that doesn’t really look like somewhere you’re not supposed to go at some time. Maybe not want to, if it’s dark and there is no one else there. But at least the police is keeping an eye on things.

    otherwise it sounds like I just broke into some parking lot

    Didn’t mean to imply that, just trying to imagine the situation
