Yes, definitely better to be a person who can afford to lose milk than someone who has to steal it.
Also better to be a person who can afford to lose milk than someone who can afford to buy it but prefers to steal it.
Either way, isn't it lucky the thief has happened to steal from someone who can afford it, since as far as I know they didn't check before they decided to nick it.

We don't have either. I'm not sure it would help unless it was a recognisable neighbour and I know almost all our neighbours. They are more likely to offer me milk than steal it.
I did run after the only people in the street, in my dressing gown and slippers (one joy of middle age is the lack of fucks given to what you look like when shit needs to be done). It was a mum and son with a shopping bag. Asked them if they saw anyone and they said no. They probably took it but what can you do? Can't demand they open their bags to prove it.
