Oftentimes, these kinds of people don't bother to check if the bins have already been picked up or not, so you get a bin that smells like dog shit for the next week.
Your friend sounds very creative, I'd personally go for gluing a piece of velcro to the inside lip of the handle with razor blades on it. Of course, I'm also not an engineer, just somebody whose grandfather was friends with the #2 Hell's Angel for a state who would ask if he wanted him to "take care of" problems like that. The old razor blades and broken glass in the root ball trick worked wonders when somebody was repeatedly stealing the shrubs out of my grandfather's pots.
That's just asking for a lawsuit in many states.
The dogwhistle... not so much.
Ya. Also asking to hurt innocent people in somewhat unusual situations.
Neighbor noticed your can blew over or the garbage truck spilled some of your trash setting your can back down…
I surely don't know what you mean. They're to keep the raccoons out! That's why they're on a piece of velcro, so they're removable!
Sarcasm aside, absolutely. Even if you wouldn't get in trouble for people hurting themselves by going into your bins, you could probably get in trouble for messing with town property or something. It's just the kind of thing I immediately think of after growing up with stories of "Let me take care of that for you" about a guy who's probably doing 30 to life for prostitution and selling heroin/whatever else the Hell's Angels get up to.
... or a moltov
Maybe try asking them nicely first, or putting up a sign that doesn't have a threat in it? Like, I get it, someone slighted you so you got to make them think twice before crossing you again, but going straight to building a trap with razor blades is a bit extreme and will probably land you before a judge.
