b) Whatever tax deduction the donor might get went bye-bye with the box.

c) It is still STEALING, no matter what excuse they make or lie they tell

d) I would definitely report them---they might be able to lie their way out of a single event, but if the same crew gets multiple complaints, their credibility will go out the window

e) The SA might also be aware of "disappearing donations", you might check with them

The Salvation Army man did offer us the slip for the donation anyway. And we did tell him that the recycling people picked up the box meant for them. He just said "That's not good!"
