Thieving neighbours...What would you do?

What's wrong with a 'ikkle bit of jungle?

Seriously, mark your bins like a cat marks its terrorty (sp?)

Lee, are you suggest Steve pees on his R bin?

[Steven W]

A recycling bin is a recycling bin- you've got your old chipped one back- so mark your house number on it and be done with it. You only put your recylcing in it, who cares if it's chipped?

It's filthy as well, but I've just cleaned it out and that'll be end of it. Marked my house number of both sides in big black marker.

Well done mate, its not worth making something of.

When i was renting my last place, a care in the community case was living nextdoor. One night he ended up having such an argument with the girl upstairs the police ended up coming round. After he'd threatened some physical violence towards her, i made the mistake of saying "no, your not going to do that". He never forgave me for it. When i was moving out he complained endlessly and was generally disruptive. In retrospect I should of said nothing, as I think it was just an idle threat and the police where already on the street. Whilst I felt all i'm alpha male, protecting the ladies, aren't i awsome, it probably did nothing to deflate the situation, and given the fact he thought he was doing nothing wrong ment i made an enemy for the next 6 months of my tennancy.

At 4am!? hehe

Dont sign for her packages in future though.

i dont know if anyone else has said it but ive seen advice on this before, buy invisible markers and write on it somewhere your name and something else maybe address and if it gets robbed and you see it you can report to police and prove it.

Also some councils are bringing in a thing that is a little tracker on bins, some people have decided these are the council spying on them lol but tbh its useful.

Good idea, but it's a small black box - the police wouldn't help, even when they finally finished laughing

They take it very seriously round here. Only last week, a man was sent to the gallows for mixing different coloured glass and not removing the labels.

put heavy duty black grease or anti vandal paint on all handles out of eye sight except one you know about everytime she makes a grab for it she will be covered in the stuff he he. or tie a wheel to a post with tin cans hidden underneath so when she grabs it she will make a right noise and confront her ssssoooo easy

All well and good, but what happens when the council come to collect the recycling every week?

hehe. The council can barely cope with cutting the grass, nevermind high tech spying operations

You can actually buy those kinds of things in special spy shops or online. Proper tracking devices. Although, if I was going to go through the trouble of buying stuff to catch her, I'd probably rather fill it with tar, feathers, and explosives, and then remotely detonate it as shes sneaking off with it. That may be classed as terrorism though. A less destructive option could be to dig a really deep hole next to the bin, and cover it with twigs and leaves...

That kind of thing could just escalate though, and could both end up having to come up with more elaborate ways to outsmart each other.

tie a wheel to a post

or an angry dog's balls

You must have another neighbour you aren't too fond off?

Why don't you put said neighbours number on 'your' new bin..... start a war between too neighbours you hate and you can just stay out of the way... muwhahaha

Haha! That is evil, but I like it.
