and the bad ... finding someone has stolen the bird feeder.
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.

Shame on them, Kay.
It may be they don't like feeding birds but they do like selling
things at car-boot sales. A friend had some things stolen from her
garden, including an almost new, expensive staddle stone, and the
police said that's where they would probably end up.
