Went to put out the absolutely chocker blue bin for pickup tomorrow – only to find there was nothing in it apart from an empty plastic pop bottle which was certainly not one of ours! Just felt gobsmacked and mystified! Had we been Webermaned?!
Then Mel recollected hearing some banging outside last night, but thought it was just the wind again. Had a look outside at the back of the flats, and, lo and behold, there was scattered a few bits of paper waste which were definitely ours… beside a makeshift brazier… Can only conclude that kids from the flats wanted a fire, and decided to nick our full bin for combustibles! Perhaps they’d already used bins from the flats, who knows?
Can’t really complain. It’s saved me having to wheel the bin out and back, they at least contained the fire in the brazier – and they had the decency to bring our bin back rather than just leaving it dumped outside.
