Someone keeps taking our wheelie bin

[peterattheboro]

Out the back of our house we have a gated alleyway. Every now and again, someone takes our bin which is clearly labelled with our address and we don't see it for a week.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can find out who is taking it?

The only ideas I can come up with is tieing some thread to the bin and then follow it (if it says intact) or painting the wheels with something that will leave a trace on the ground.

If I find out who it is then we can come up with some idea on how to inflict sweet revenge!

Set up a camera to watch your bin.

Do they bring it back, can't you set-up a wireless webcam?

Take the wheels off and refit when needed.

Someone kept taking my bin when I first moved in to this house, so I bought a fake CCTV sign stuck it on the side of my house for a week and it's not happened since.

Sorry, should have said.. They only take it once the bins have been emptied and they then take it before I get chance to bring it back to my garden. Setting up a webcam would leave it exposted to the elements, plus some thieving scrote (ie, my neighbours) will probably see it and steal it

An idea I had was taking their bin and cutting the bottom out of it so all their rubbish just falls out when they move it

A big ass siren that goes off when the bin is moved.

Chain the bin to the gate.

Yeah I'm sure his dustmen will love him then, and when his bin isn't emptied it will be great.

 

[Cosimo]

Get someone small to sit inside it and wait.

 

[Mint_Sauce]

Rape alarm attached on the underside with some string going to the wheel might be a cheap way of finding out?
