Went outside to fetch the wheelie bin. It's not there. Who the fuck would nick a wheelie bin?
Drunks; kids; people whose wheelie bin has been nicked spring to mind. Maybe there's one missing wheelie bin in your area, and the bin hole sort of travels around from house to house, kind of like one of those slidey puzzles or maybe P-doped silicon.
The wierd thing is I live at the end of a cul-de-sac, and there's no passing traffic. I can only presume a neighbour has moved it from the street in error as it was dark when I went out to collect it, oh well, might knock on a few doors tomorrow, and find out.
Which of course means that Rob has to go and nick someone elses wheelie bin now. -- Paul. CBR1100XX SuperBlackbird (Buen mueble de patio) BOTAFOT #4 BOTAFOF #30 MRO #24 OMF #15 UKRMMA #30
Pip Luscher says... Red KE175D2 r/h sidepanels comes to mind here. Someone in Bedford lost theirs, so anyone who owned a red KE175 would sometimes wake up and find their's stolen overnight. It was a simple matter of waiting until the early hours and replacing it with one of the other ones in town, of which there were 4 or 5. Eventually one of the KEs was written off, and I nabbed both the sidepanels off it before it was collected by the insurers. Next time mine got nicked I just stuck the replacement on and the thieving stopped there and then. Being a part-timer at the local Kawasaki dealer I got to know exactly who was who in the small world of KE175 ownership cos they'd come in to whinge about it. For a while the missing sidepanel thing was a source of amusement to all of us, cos we'd all lost ours and nabbed the same ones back at some point.
Even the BBC call them that, Don't know why the don't call dogs doggies or horses geegees. I really don't know what's wrong with a wheel bin the same as a wheel barrow.
No, but there were some people putting fences up. I'm going to knock on a few doors and ask if they got left an extra bin by mistake, then if there's no luck I'll try and blag a replacement off the council without paying... after all I put it out for their bin men, but they failed to return it to my driveway. Seems like a good excuse to get one in the next size up, now they only collect every 2 weeks.
You wouldn't, not unless you'd shagged it first. -- platypus "Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative."
Hm. My suspicions are aroused. I've seen builders' lorries with wheelie bins used as hardcore and general tat holders. I think a fair few will replace the thing foc anyhow: bloke up the hill had his nicked, and Brent simply brought a new one. Don't get me started on that. Ali
