Question

Who is responsible for stealing our time?

Answer 1

The question is asked in a metaphorical sense and we are not exactly dealing with a person who is stealing our time rather it means that by delaying or postponing the work that is to be done, it is the same as our time being stolen from right under our noses. Time doesn't wait for anyone and time once lost is lost forever. This can be inferred from the final paragraph of the given passage.
