Any idea why?

A few months ago I was taking DD to school and a young man put his hand above the doors on the row of garages and took something then walked away. He doesn't live there and I've not seen him before or since.

After that I kept noticing a super kings cigarette box was up there some mornings but it was always gone by about 11am.

This intrigued me but I am too short to reach up there so I kept asking dh to look for it in the morning when he takes the dog out before work.
He kept forgetting so this box coming and going, some mornings there and some mornings not dominated my life for weeks.

Eventually it was there on Saturday morning, when it usually only shows up on a week day morning. Poor dh was dragged out of bed and sent down to see what was inside..
Total anti climax, it was just cigarettes and a lighter. But this box is not there when we go to bed but is there very early in the morning and is usually taken some time by 11 which means who ever is leaving it there is doing so really late at night.

I just can't work out why somebody is doing this, it seems odd. It's none of the neighbours. So I wonder if anybody here has any idea why someone would be doing that and can enlighten me WITHOUT pointing out that I should probably get a life Grin

Innocent explanations:
a. Collector lives in a house where someone is very anti-smoking and he's keeping it from them. Source - friend used to do this. He had had a heart bypass and his family and medics would have gone apeshit if they knew or he was found out. Cut down but couldn't quit - did lose his life a few years later.

b. Bus driver on very short fag break on the hop (unlikely but could explain being put there for really early morning).

Or other less innocent reasons.
