Jules-and-Boo Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Taking letters is obvs a risk of identity theft. I would just use this as a reminder for people to be mindful about how they dispose of letters/ personal info. Shred it is possible, burn it if not. I take mine to work and it gets shredded.

lilolil Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 She was going down the green bin, not the blue. My son caught her and asked what she was doing. There was a lot of rubbish left on the floor. My neighbour was also sweeping up the mess she had left. She headed off down Whateley Road.

Throwing rubbish everywhere as> she's sorting through grrr. oh no not again:( last time I caught this woman riffling through my green bin, about 2/3 months ago I told her to stop it & go away then I caught her further down the road pulling stuff out of another neighbours bin - mainly clothes. She held up some bras to show me as if it was Ok what she was doing:( her assistant was pulling a trolly for the stash. I was hoping they wouldn't return to Hindmans but it seems to be a favourite on their list:( I thought of getting locks for my bins but never got round to it & then I would probably forget to unlock them on collection day lol Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/192305-bin-scavenger-alert-hindmans-road/#findComment-1248407 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilolil Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 I have a feeling she may not want to come back to Hindmans Road in a hurry.Apart from the fact she was confronted by my son who caught her in the act, my alter ego (loud and angry banshee) wearing a coat over my nightdress found her rummaging through a bin on the corner of Landells.She may have wet herself 😁 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/192305-bin-scavenger-alert-hindmans-road/#findComment-1248411 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fruityloops Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Had people looking through bins on Underhill, noticed when I'd parked up outside. Stayed for a couple of minutes to watch what they were doing, and she was just getting the dregs of the shampoo, deodorant, makeup, washing liquid etc.Went and spoke to her, and asked her to just make sure the bin lid was fully closed after she was done. She was thankful but apologised. I said there's no need to be sorry - help yourself. A very sad state of affairs that people feel the need to have to do this, as they clearly cannot afford the basics, but if our households are so wasteful as to leave these bits in the bottoms of bottles, then why shouldn't someone make good use of it.

Often it is just people doing their best to get by by using other people's waste.

civilservant Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 you don't need to apologise - completely understand (and sympathise with) your point.there's a lot of wannabe vigilantes on the EDF and we could do with a bit more compassion and understanding imho Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/192305-bin-scavenger-alert-hindmans-road/#findComment-1249144 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone managed to take 4500 out of mine at a bank in Islington - over the counter last year a month after I had my cards stolen and after all were cancelled. Refunded of course (and I'm told now they refund whatever happens these days so no-one should worry) but how did they do it - bank didn't tell me LOL.Edit: and even scarier some guy turned up at my flat pretending he needed my signature for a letter which should just have been posted through - sure it was linked.
