Someone went through our bins - has this happened to you?

Tonight someone went through both our bins, leaving the contents all over the front of the house. We were the only people this happened to on our street.

Has this happened to anyone else and are there any recommendations on what to do about this?

Thanks

I watched someone do this to next doors bins. It was very early morning. He was very drunk and carrying bags of refuse already. He went through the flat bins next door taking out bags, sorting them (I couldn't see any rhyme or reason to the sorting) and tossing bags and their contents around. He did this for at least 10 minutes and then I stopped watching.


I went out later and picked it all up.


I considered if I should have done anything more about it and couldn't think what it might be. I could call the police. i could go out and shout at him. Watching, that felt as if it would have been cruel.


He was obviously mentally very ill and unsteady on his feet. One of his arms might have been withered and it hung by his side. He was singing loudly and tunelessly to himself. He had apparently been out all night. He was timid -- he saw me watching and didn't open our bin. I couldn't bring myself to frighten him or drive him away -- where would he go? His sorting, tossing and searching felt like demented but personally satisfying behaviour. Symbolic of something in his mind.


he was unforgettable. This was in Linden Grove about maybe a month ago.

    • 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   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
