Bloke going through people's bins


Recommended Posts

Just caught a bloke going through my elderly neighbor's bins. When I asked what he was doing he said hesitantly that he was looking for shoes. I told him he should ask first. Then saw him further down the road going through someone else's bins. They clocked him and he disappeared. Not sure if he was up to no good but be careful when disposing of personal info.

This happens everywhere, all the time. Never bin anything with your personal details on without shredding or obscuring first and then there's no problem. If you've binned it, you don't need it anyway.

I had my identity stolen earlier in the year. Bank accounts, credit cards, personal loans and catalogue accounts were taken out in my name. I'm still trying to sort it out now and my credit rating is destroyed as a result. I really would urge everyone to shread anything with any personal information on before putting it in the bin.

I had someone called "Micheal Jackson" ... yes, Micheal Jackson! with an outstanding balance on a Marisota catalogue. I had to explain that Micheal Jackson didn't live at my house, if he did, I would have no objection to his collection frocks, but that I wasn't liable for his debt.

I know this is a old thread but i had 2 women going through the bins this afternoon on ivanhoe Road, I personally don't give a toss if they are looking for clothes etc but they keep ripping the bags open in the green bin and it's bloody stinks as well as attracting flys in the heat! Its stopped for a while and now they are back, it's starting to get on my t*ts! Anyone know what they are actually looking for? Sorry to bring this up again but it's bloody jaring!!!

    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw
