Stolen Wheelie Bin

The_Conductor

Ok- I know its sad- but some sod has nicked my wheelie bin.
I never made a note of the serial number on the lid (why would I?) South Dublin Co.Co. are looking for another 120 Euro for another bin. What are my options. (and no- tossing the rubbish off the balcony is not an option....)

When my wheelie bin was nicked they were looking for money or a letter sent to the right deptartment. This was with Kildare Co. Co. though. But still, ring them again and ask them if there is any alternative to paying up.

Hmmmm- was just talking to them.
They gave me the serial number that is assigned to me, and have advised that next bin day I do a little scouting, and if I find my bin to nick it back again, and phone them and let them know what the story is. Apparently its a new trend (they even have someone specially in charge of it in the townhall in tallaght where south dublin co.co. are based.
Will give it a shot.
For future reference if it happens to anyone else they have the serial numbers on the lids on file, so if you ask nicely they will tell you.

It's better than coughing up 120 yo yo's, besides you'd really have to be a low life to lift a wheelie bin, so umm take comfort in the fact that whoever lifted your bin is most likely a scumbag anyway.

nick someone elses!

Thanks for the suggestions.
Today, Tuesday, is bin day, and I reclaimed my bin before coming into work in the morning.
I've also prominently painted my house number on it in white undercoat, so its not going anywhere in a hurry.
Cheers for all the suggestions.
