I don't think that robots should be allowed to take up space on our sidewalks. Sidewalks are meant for people to travel on and we shouldn't be inconvenienced by having to avoid some annoying-ass robots rolling down the middle of them all the time. They ought to be considered motor vehicles and banned from sidewalks. That being said, stealing people's deliveries is wrong and I don't think it's a good way to combat robots encroaching on our space.

Maybe just overturn them so it becomes unprofitable?

I was thinking you could pick them up and set them in nearby bushes or something so it's out of everyone's way. You aren't damaging it and it's impossible to argue that robots should have right-of-way. If you overturn them, the company might be able to bitch that you scratched the paint or something.
