Sadly, as a general rule, the cafe/restaurant owners don't really care so long as their old oil goes and the police are normally so slow to respond anyway that the thieves are long gone.
Because they travel to a different part of the country daily and probably won't re-do the same area for weeks or even months, they are almost impossible to catch in the act.
The ones I've experienced have an IBC in the van and tip the stolen oil into it and then dump the empty containers at the next place they steal oil from or in a back street somewhere.

The gangs are still at it in the York area. At one of the City Centre pubs I collect from they have taken over 800 litres of glycerol that I have taken down and left in the back yard. Meanwhile the kitchen staff leave the oil locked up inside, awaiting my collaction.
