to be wondering what's going on with my bins?

Our bedroom is on the ground floor with the main outdoor bins underneath our windowsill.

A few times in the late evening over the last couple of weeks I've heard a car pull up outside our house, car doors slam (about 6-8 times, so not a person getting into/out of a taxi) and then things being dumped into our outdoor bins. Car doors then shut and they drive off.

The first couple of times I didn't think much of it, but it's just happened again.

We have a big blind over the window and wooden shutters on the inside so no curtain to easily twitch and I can't move very fast due to an injury/it would be very obvious if I opened the blind and shutters to have a look!

I'm going to investigate the bins in the morning, but any ideas as to what could be going on?! Bin day is Friday so bins should currently be empty apart from the used nappies our upstairs neighbour throws in without bagging

Living in central London on a residential street if it makes a difference.

We have so much cardboard I need to take it to the tip, wish they'd come here (not too far from London) Wink

Update: Cardboard is still there. Bins are empty.

They must be looking for something in the bins? It remains a mystery...

Maybe London foxes are now evolving to have opposable lid-lifting thumbs

Some people search bins for scrap to sell on.

Some people take things from bins hoping they will find bank statements or financial information:

They are more than welcome to take the used nappies Confused
