To steal from my neighbours

[catgirl1976]

Because one of them has stolen my wheeelie bin again.

For the 4th time this year my wheelie bin is missing presumed stolen by a neighbour. If I buy a new one, I will have spent £140 on wheelie bins this year.

Or I could wait till the dead of night, decide which neighbour looks the most theify and nick it back.

But then I will start some sort of wheelie bin war and end up on one of those TV programmes.

Fecking arse badger good for nothing wheelie bin thieves wankers.

Ours got nicked and the council told me there was a waiting list for a new one.

I was . It's a wheely bin FFS not a Fendi handbag.

haha, this thread's funny.

Do you need to pay for your bins?

During the heavy winds not so long ago our recycling boxes ended up god only knows where. Called the council for replacements and as they took SO long to deliver them, called again.

We now have five hahahaa
Stangely though, they do get nicked. Seriously, is this what we're coming to?

Are you sure it's being nicked? We have had 2 of our bins go missing, when I phoned the council they said the lorry sometimes 'swallows' them and it's fairly common. They sent us a new one both times and some council bin bags to put out for collection until the replacement came

Us and all our neighbours in the cul-de-sac have our house numbers painted on our bins, (we do have about 5 different bins now though, but that is another topic). Maybe you should not only paint your house number on your bin, but go round in the middle of the night and paint house numbers on everyone elses bin, so that way no one can sneakily put out an extra one?

Our food been went missing.No where to be seen.Can only assume someone nicked it.YANBU it is very annoying.

LOVING Worra's idea

Checked with the council and they say the lorry didn't swallow it so Ihave to pay for a new one. Again.

A waiting list cat in boots! - I though my council were bad

I painted our bin like an ipod-- white with a big apple inverse and a play/pause wheel on the front and everything, and numbers on the back. I thought no one could ever "mix it up" with theirs. It STILL got nicked. Some people have no shame.

We've put giant number stickers on all our bins / boxes. Most of our neighbours do the same.

I'd be getting the paint out for the next bin if mine went missing and I suspected someone had peeled the numbers off.

You may have made yours a little too desirable Acumenoop

I have had problems like this in the past. Paint your number all over it and if they are nicking it from your garden, get some sort of padlock and chain arrangement to secure it to the fence/wall.

Or just do what Worra said.

Oops just realised my mistake [Blush] i don't know whats wrong with me today

Why would anyone steal a wheelie bin ?!

My dsis had problems with milk being nicked from the fridge when she was in Halls at uni.

Eventually after someone had had their entire pint taken they left a note "To whoever borrowed my milk: It was not actually milk, it was, in fact a culture I was brewing for the labs. You need to get to a doctor urgently" (he was a medic) The guilty party appeared at his door looking very green to admit the theft. Never happened again.

Our recycling boxes keep being nicked. I am sick of ringing the council now to get new ones.

Ohh the notes thing reminded me of when the Card Warehouse was nicking our work bins.

I wrote on the inside of lid 'This belongs to The Early Fucking Learning Centre now fuck off and get your own bins"

Does your bin have a serial number ours does on the lid, our bin goes missing regularly so after having it replaced by the council we wrote down the number so if I can't find the bin I check the serial numbers of my neighbours.

I read on here before that painting "JESUS LOVES YOU" in big letters on your bin makes it a lot less likely to be taken.

Is that right, celstial? I love that!
