I had 3 garlic bulbs growing a pot, went to check on them this evening
and
one of the bulbs had been dug up. I found it on the ground behind the
pot
with the stem missing, but have no idea who the culprit is.
We live on the outskirts of a town and we have local foxes, mice and
muntjack deer. There are also lots of cats around, 2 of which are
ours.
Any ideas?

Magpies and blackbirds do that sort of thing, hunting for worms.

Probably a blackbird - they love pulling things up, especially if they
look like nest-uilding material. They are experts with onion sets and
recently-planted shallotts.
