The solution is to use a BIG BLACK MARKER PEN to write your street number on the lid and side of the bin. I also suffered from a bin napping, where I was fortunate enough to be able to spot mine in a neighbors yard, as it had tell tale black paint on the lid from school project I did with my kids earlier that week. But I wonder, when someone steals your bin, is it because someone already stole theirs? And is that because someone else stole theirs? Where does this all start or finish? It makes my head hurt. Time for a lie down…
@ John Donovan, you know where it ends: Robbing Peter of his bin because someone else nicked Paul’s: and he’s got yours, with or without a cat in it.
Jeepers, things are really falling apart over there at Labradoodle Acres, First Dog. No bathroom, no wheelie bin…
A tip in case you need a JP again (let’s hope not): contact your local member of parliament (state &/or federal) as they sometimes have an employee in the electorate office who is a registered JP. Unlike the pharmacy, at the electorate offices they don’t give you a hard time because they are obsequiously courting your vote. These days every single vote counts!
JD is on the right track FD.
But rather than a boring old black marker pen, you’ll need to put a full colour, life-size picture of Julie Bishop on the bin.
That infamous deathstare, is guaranteed to keep bin thieves at bay. 🙂
Yes Paddy, but how do you know that it is Your Julie Bishop? There are about 7 of them in my street already, and very hard to tell apart…
