Why would someone steal a bloody bin?

[dkatwa]

Maybe it wasn't stolen but otherwise disposed of?

Do the residents mainly drive VWs or Fords?

Moving in to a new build house, have to order the bins from the council I think, hope I don't have to pay for them, or that they don't go missing before I get home on the day they're supposed to get delivered.

Sure it's been covered before but my theories are
Fallen in bin
Nicked by the allotment mafia, lots of wheelie bins on my dads allotment, used for cheap water butts, composters
Social housing types - couldn't be bothered to put theirs out, now need the space so pinch one
Used in crime
Drunks
Kids
People who just want another bin
Or the same household has taken in two and not realised

Aliens

Our Wheelie Bins are gradually being destroyed by the Binmen. The black one for Landfill is cracked around the wheels and the Green one is going the same way.

Haha! Have the residents don't even have cars! It is a bit council round here; housing association scheme and that. I don't care, I bought a 6 year old house by myself and it's costing me peanuts!

Maybe they brought it to the woods where I walk my dog.
They periodically appear melted there.

Having just moved into my new place I find after a few weeks I'm playing bin roulette. Some times my bins are still in the same place I left them (or close to it) and other times they've grown legs and run off never to be seen again.

Have just realised the awfulness of this thread.
Even if it does return next bin day - THis could be TWO WEEKS AWAY

On tenterhooks.
At least the Z4 sold to a trader thread delivered in 24 hours

Well you know those little project boxes, for electronic doodahs, you can get from Maplin? Maybe it was a bigger project than that.

Or keep an eye out for anyone with an oversize swing bin racer.

Well i just tried calling the Council, but it appears the lazy buggers have gone home!!

Will have to try again tomorrow!

[Evolved]

You've bin had!

[Wacky Racer]

We found we needed an extra bin, as we must generate a lot of rubbish, so I just rang the council and they said "Fine, we'll send another one round".

FOC....

So we have four now, including blue for recycle stuff and brown for garden waste.

Very PH. Generating a lot of rubbish is a sign of affluence.

Having eighteen kids and buying your food from Iceland will generate a load of rubbish too.

New builds, Audi's and BMW's you say, there's your problem then, all fur coat and no knickers type..

... Oh yes.

[ferrariF50lover]

I've had my brown one nicked this week. The delicious irony is twofold. A) I was going to ask to have it taken away anyway and B) they're free.

Is that a dead "Dusty Bin" that was shot dead in a drive by shooting?
