    I know this is the right place to post as all you guys have great imaginations.

    The bin tags keep getting stolen when we put the bins out and almost caught someone in the act yesterday but they drove off just in time!!

    Really annoying considering the price of these tags - anyone got suggestions on how to get the b#stard? Setting up a camera is a bit extreme so any simple solutions from you boardsies??

    Hide in the plastic bin. When he peels it off, spring out and scream like a banshee.

    Hide in bin bag* beside wheelie with a little peep hole, when you catch this scum bag, punch him in the jaw.

    *Be careful the bin men don't collect you though :P

    Fly tipping, or sneak around at night and put your rubbish in your neighbour's bins.

    Move to another company that dosn't require bin tags.

    Superglue the tag on, problem sorted.

    You will lose a bin tag but they won't be back. Sorted.

    Laminate it then paste onto bin with silicone paste, use high power water jet to remove.

    Put a battery in the bin some night, make sure it's empty and wire it up to the back of the bin tag. Leave some of the wire hanging underneath the tag so the thief will see it. Now when he goes to rob it next time and see's the exposed wire and goes in for a closer look, you run up and smash the back of his head in and throw him into the bin. Lorry collects his remains the next day, job done.

    I've actually never heard of bin tags til now, \: .. have you complained to the company/tried switching?

    glueing it on is probably the simplest

    You could always get the travellers to dump it in the mountains dispose of it carefully and safely.

    Attach the bin tags to the pin of a grenade? It would leave a fierce mess though, which is a downside. The good news is much of the debris can go in your brown bin.

    Best bit is where he looks in the bin to distract attention from swiping the tag.
    Like kids checking your bins is normal behaviour. :rolleyes:

    I loved the way he casually rested against the bin - as you do :cool:, then turned around and stretched his arm out.

    It's like the cliched 'stretch and put your arm around someone' in the cinema move!

    These bin tag systems should be gotten rid of. It would then be easy to compile a list of homes which have no refuse collection and catch them for fly tipping, illegal dumping etc.

    Catch them, then rape them.
