to want to booby trap our wheelie bin?

[natandjacob]

This man goes round the alleys most nights looking in everyones bins and emptying rubbish everywhere to get a look in the bags. I want to boobytrap the bin so that when he opens it a paint bomb goes off....is this illegal?! :o

But wheelie bins mean that you don't have bags?

YANBU. I was stood openmouthed this morning watching a woman shamelessly rip apart next door's bins and actually taking stuff out of them. At first I thought it may be the landlord (it's a student house) but no, just someone pilfering. All the students have gone home and people are obviously going through bins to see what they can find. Disgusting, and she left a right mess. All of this was in broad daylight

Only if you don't post the results on You Tube for me to laugh at. :o

Only if you're really manky and minus a sense of smell, LineRunner!

We heard him today listening to blondie whilst having a good rummage in one of the bins, what a weirdo!!

I HAVE to do this!!

Nobody would go through my bin It's full of chicken poo and dirty, smelly cat litter! I often pride myself on how nasty and foul my wheelie bin is actually. Pilfering? Identity theft? I don't think so

if he makes a mess and a nuisance of himself i would contemplate phoning the police and speaking with the neighbourhood team. They might fettle it!

Happens around here too. Very odd.

Worst/Funniest I saw was a man rummaging through the stuff left behind by students, pulling out this and that, and then driving off with it in his sports car, roof down and everything!!!

welliesandpyjamas he's obviously doing well from it, i might give it a go myself!

Lol, nat, he clearly is!

A torn up letter may carry enough information for ID fraud. Shred 'em, don't bin 'em.
