Some people will steal anything that's not bolted down (and sometimes they'll steal that too, along with the bolts).

I find it easier to deal with such despicable acts if I anthropomiphise to a ridiculous degree - your doormat has just reached an age where it wants more independence and has set off to travel the world. It's out there somewhere living it's best life, getting to experience other doorsteps and being stepped on by a wide array of interesting people.
