To wonder what would drive someone to steal milk?

I've just cancelled my milkround after getting my milk stolen yet again. I've requested that the milkman puts it behind some bushes as I live on a main road, but he's continued to put it on the doorstep.

So, after it's gone missing yet again, I'm just wondering why someone would steal my three bottles of milk? I'm pretty pissed off at this point.

I wouldn't mind so much if they stole one of my bottles, but three?! I really look forward to my delivery. I have to postpone it at the end of the month for financial reasons so when I start it up again it's a real treat!

Maybe it's the vegans. They get the blame for everything.

@Juliauns91

A lot of people will steal if they can get away with it. We live in a very different society than even 40 years ago when people doing this would feel ashamed. It's an easy way to steal from you. There is no punishment at all, and they know it.
Human behaviour doesn’t change. There are were just as many thieves 40 years ago as there are today,

I'm glad I've entertained people with the fox theory! Our foxes were stealing a dozen eggs, carton and all for weeks before we figured out what was going on so honestly I wouldn't put anything past them...

I also found this video of a fox stealing milk - sadly no trailers or walking on hind legs involved

@Iamtired123

That milk was already stolen from the mother and baby cows it was intended for in the first place 😓
