Absolutely fucking livid . Probably disproportionately so as I am hormonal but I don't care .

Background description :
House then back garden then garage then fenced area then entryway . All my boundary up to where my back fence meets the entryway. I am end terraced so entry runs down left hand side of garden and house too.

Have lived here many years . Not close with any neighbors . One on the left killed my cat other across the entry is pleasant . Say good morning and exchange pleasantries but no more than that .

Have been finding bins on my bit of land behind my house for a while - thought it may have been a mistake that neighbors might have thought it was my bin and put it there all nice as you do.

Today I have just watched several of my neighbors take the bins of people who are out at work or not in off the street and put them on my land! Like the area behind my garage is a fucking neighborhood bin store ! It's not !

It's my fucking land and AIBU to tell them to get the fuck to fucking fuck and fuck off some more!!!

And breathe .

Very large sign:

Feel free to enter my land to retrieve your fly-tipped bins.
(Full disclosure: I am looking forward to my £50 from you've been framed - I am filming, and I may have booby-trapped some zones. Smile!)

Your map OP is truly excellent. I love a good boundaries thread and sometimes my frustration at not being able to visualise what its all about... is just too much! Maps should be obligatory.

If they are the sort of neighbour I'm imagining, I would mess with their heads a bit I'm horrible. I'd paint house numbers on each of the bins. The correct number on yours of course, but the numbers on the other bins could be totally random or houses up the road and not affected by all of this. That'll sort it!

Babyiwantabump · 26/08/2016 18:25

Loving the giant painted penises (Peni??) idea that would definitely bring down the tone of the area. I would be worried that it could set off a few of the widows around here and I wouldn't want to cause any pearl clutching heart attacks !

Have just got home and there are still two bins "parked" there . DD like the mini wheel clamp idea and is currently trying to fashion one out of cardboard for me .

leccy yes you can drive in - it is a one and a half width and sort of angled slightly towards the right hand entry if that makes sense .

Cat killer is my left hand side neighbour . He was ok up until said cat moved in (from my mums he had been with her up until about a year after we moved in)

2 years ago he used very very strong weed killer in his garden - he didn't tell me he was using it. When I got home I went out in back garden to see cat as it was strange he hadn't come in to meet me and smell of weed killer was obvious ( it hit you in the face - he must have used buckets of the stuff or thrown it over my fence)

Cat doesn't look well , is vommiting and looks dazed - I take to vets and he has multiple organ failure due to the weed killer 😥 . I'd had him longer than I'd had my kids 😢 He was my baby . We had to have him put to sleep as he was in so much pain and distress .

On the way back from the vets with the empty cat basket cat killer speaks to me for the first time in over 7 years . He ask me how's the cat? With a horrible horrible look on his face 😡.

Oh that is awful Sad

FurryLittleTwerp · 26/08/2016 18:34

Poor poor cat Sad

BTW the proper plural of penis is penes - true fact!

leccybill · 26/08/2016 18:39

Cat killer neighbour sounds truly horrible
Flowers for you having to suffer that.

AnnieOnAMapleLeaf · 26/08/2016 18:47

Super glue the lids shut. I've had a very similar issue with neighbours before and this is what I did. 4 of my neighbours banded together and decided to start using my driveway as their bin storage as my drive was tucked down the side and was therefore out of sight. I asked politely twice and then I glued those fuckers shut!

RegTheMonkey1 · 26/08/2016 18:55

The iron entered my soul when I read about cat killing neighbour asking how cat was. Show them no mercy! Unleash hell!

HelenaJustina · 26/08/2016 19:11

Superglue, subtle, not easy to spot but extremely effective! Well done Reg

Angelik · 26/08/2016 19:15

Hit them in the pocket and put bins in garage. Wait till you see new ones appear then return their bins to them personally with a 'oh, I found these on my land. I believe they're yours'. If they don't claim possession simply say 'I'll leave them on the Street so their owners can find them easily'. This is simply to boil their piss. Call council to report them being dumped.

HatePaperDoll · 26/08/2016 19:30

I'd be heaving those bins into cat killer's garden. Every fucking week. The evil cunt.

Empty bins aren't heavy. You could easily fuck one over a wall/gate/fence. In fact, I'll
come round and do it for you.

DeadGood · 26/08/2016 19:34

The cat story is ... Wow. I'm shocked. Poor you OP.

I second the superglue idea and also I love your diagram.

IloveJudgeJudy · 26/08/2016 19:34

I don't have any solution for you; I just wanted to express my gratitude for your providing us with such a lovely, clear diagram. It really enhances the whole thread and makes the whole problem you have much more comprehensible than merely a description in words.

I watched out my bedroom window while entitled fucker #1 attempted to open her bin (and failed). She then stomped next door to EF#2 and EF#3 and had a conversation with them which involved EF#1 gesticulating wildly. All three of them attempted to open their bins (and failed) and then proceeded to remove their bind from my drive and drag them back to their front gardens.

None of them ever said anything to me but they all took great pleasure in giving me the stink eye whenever I saw them. I just waved and smiled brightly.

OP, I'm surprised you didn't hit him with the cat basket! Flowers for you, what a hideous man. Angry Hopefully he'll poison himself with his own weed killer one day...

I like the idea of super gluing the lids shut! That'll learn 'em! (Though the shotgun idea is strangely alluring.)

LeonardInTheArgosBag · 26/08/2016 20:47

Annie, you're a legend!

Sorry about your cat, OP. That is fucking awful. In fact, your neighbours sound dreadful in general.

Babyiwantabump · 26/08/2016 20:56

Oh they all are ! All old busy bodies ( youngest is probably about 72) and had all lived on the street since childhood etc so they have never accepted me - I have never done anything to upset anyone and bought this house when I was 19 so I could have been having wild all night parties but I never have once!

I might start now though .

Littlegreyauditor · 26/08/2016 21:12

I was just about to suggest superglue but I got distracted by the tale of the cat and Annie got in first.

As for the cat killer, I would end him, all bets would be off. What an utter fucker! i am struggling to cope with what he did and it's not my cat Angry

Cary2012 · 26/08/2016 21:30

I'd bloody kill any one if I knew they killed my cat.

You know how the council stick leaflets in our bins, with collection dates? I would type an official looking letter enclosing an invoice for weekly charges, and stick them on their bins. Rent, tenner a week. Say that if used tenners aren't left under the bins within seven days, the bins will be removed. Then sit back and enjoy the show.

Flisspaps · 26/08/2016 21:39

Wait until it's dark and then:

Superglue the lids shut
Drag the remaining bins out and put them right in the middle of the pavement.

FruitCider · 26/08/2016 21:42

I would buy some thick chains and chain all of the bins together with a big note on them saying thank you for free bins!
