How much is a deposit compared to the full price of a drink?
Here in Czechia it's 3czk deposit for ~20czk full drink price and I've never noticed anybody even asking for the bottles, yet alone "stealing" them.

Which means when buying a 1,5 liters bottle of water, the bottle is worth more (25 cent) than the water in it (19 cent).
Bottle collectors are quite common, haven't met any rude ones myself, but they are even speed-collecting trough the trash cans of trains stopped making stops at the station.
Glass bottles, normal cans: 1kr = 13¢
Small plastic bottles: 1.5kr = 20¢
Large plastic bottles (≥ 1L): 3kr = 40¢
