    Just a while ago I heard a strange noise outside and saw that a group of men in hoodies were taking wheelie bins from the houses beside us and our own. They only made away with one when they were caught but still I found it very strange when I heard that others had theirs robbed too. What on earth would you steal a wheelie bin for!? Saw they had a barrel of kerosene with them too so don't know if it's just for a laugh or what.

    Have you ever had your bin stolen? Why would you steal one in the first place? :confused: Strange world...

    I've never had one stolen, the undeseriables near me apparently rob them to turn them into coal bunkers. Not a bad idea I spose when you think about it.

    They're striped down for parts and shipped to eastern Europe.

    Seriously I'd say set on fire in the local park by teenagers

    It's happened in my estate that several bins have been taken and then set on fire on the green. All that's left the next day is charred rubbish and the wheels.

    I'd say it would be much more fun to just go knacker drinking in a field...this just seems like the most pointless thing to do, waste of petrol too. Smell of burning plastic must be awful too.

    Now that I think about it, ours was stolen a few years ago too. Cost us €40 to get a new one, I think...or was it €20.
