Unexpected Culprit Behind Missing Milk Deliveries

Homeowner Gordon Campbell, from near Glasgow, Scotland, unraveled the mystery of missing milk deliveries with a clever setup. For weeks, bottles of milk vanished from his doorstep. Curious to find the thief, Campbell installed a security camera. To his surprise, the footage revealed a young fox taking the milk.

Campbell initially suspected a person was behind the thefts. He even humorously considered the possibility of a ‘militant vegan’ before identifying the real culprit. The sight of the fox with a glass bottle in its mouth was unexpected. Campbell was puzzled, considering magpies briefly as suspects. However, he doubted their capability to roll away a bottle.

Determined to catch the thief, Campbell staged a plan. He placed a spare bottle filled with milk outside and set a camera to record the event. The fox showed up and took the milk, proving the suspicion correct. Campbell found the situation amusing, especially upon seeing the fox with its big ears and cute face.

Due to the milk thefts, Campbell had temporarily ceased home deliveries, opting to buy from grocery stores instead. He’s considering resuming the service with a protective box to safeguard the bottles. Meanwhile, the fox wasn’t an unfamiliar visitor. Months earlier, Campbell’s cat, Bruce, chased another fox trying to enter the house through the cat door.
