Goodbye?

I have a milk crate in my front closet for storage and traveling purposes (excellent for carrying large amounts of alcohol to family vacations). The other day, I noticed that I may be in a bit of trouble:



Yes, that line at the bottom reads, "Use by other than owner punishable by law."
By "owner," do they mean owner of the dairy? Or owner of the milk crate?

I'm not quite sure how the crate ended up in my possession (although I have my suspicions), but now live in fear of the police showing up at my door and taking my crate from its loving home.
