Summary
In Scotland, a homeowner named Gordon Campbell experienced repeated thefts of milk deliveries from his doorstep. After weeks of missing milk, Campbell, who lives near Glasgow, decided to take action by setting up a security camera to catch the thief. Initially, he suspected a person might be responsible for the thefts, even jokingly suggesting it could be a 'militant vegan.' He also considered the possibility of magpies being involved, as they are known for their intelligence. However, he doubted they would have the strength to roll away a glass bottle.
On July 20, Campbell's efforts paid off when he captured footage of the true culprit: a young fox. The video showed the fox trotting up to the doorstep, grabbing a glass bottle of milk, knocking it over, and carrying it away. Campbell found the situation amusing and was charmed by the fox's appearance, stating that all was forgiven once he saw its big ears and small face.
