The "Fill a Bag for a Vet" Vietnam Veterans of America box truck did make the scheduled pickup to take the remaining boxes, the man said. 

Angel, a spokeswoman with the Vietnam Veterans of America headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland, said incidents of people stealing boxes of donated items is not uncommon. The organization, which picks up items (including vehicles) from California to Maine, does not track the number of theft incidents from private property.

Her advice: "Put it where it's kind of hidden, so it's not visible right away." 

When you call to schedule a pickup, she said, tell the crew coordinator or organization’s operator where the boxes are on your property.
