Irrationally, I would not have expected someone who liked feeding the
birds to be the same sort of person who would steal out of someone's
garden.

I doubt it was a bird lover, more likley to be someone who saw
something that would sell easily at a car boot sale or on Ebay.


Hardly! It cost me about £2 (special offer), and it'd need to be cleaned
before you could sell it. So no good for car boot, and hardly worth it
for ebay.


Are you sure it hasn't been pinched by a squirrel? We have had that
happening and eventually found the (empty!) feeder some way off. I think
they take them off to a specialist safe breaker.
