If the bottle is left in a place where the sun can shine through it, the bottle can magnify the heat from the sun and start a fire.

Why will a milk bottle crack if you pour hot water into it?

The milk bottle is made of ordinary glass with a relatively high coefficient of thermal expansion. Glass has poor thermal conductivity, so the inside of the bottle will be hot and outside cold. This temperature gradient will cause a stress in the glass and if the glass has small imperfections or flaws in it the glass will break. That is why coffee pots are often made of low expansion glass, like Pyrex, to prevent high stress.
