Somebody emptied my wheelie bins (feddit.uk)

Some time on Friday/Saturday my 2 recycling wheelie bins disappeared from my back yard. I found them on the back street and they were fully empty. I presumed that the collection day had changed and maybe a neighbour took them out for me. Except it's collection day tomorrow and every neighbour has their bins out and they're all full.

What's happened? Anybody got a clue? If it was just one bin I could guess that somebody needed cardboard or aluminium or was trying to steal my identity. I'd be fine with that. But who would take both?!?

No idea really. Was it all paper/cardboard recycling? Maybe someone needed extra material for a bonfire?

I think you're going to have to get "Sherlock Holmesing" the area around those bins and back streets for clues.

One was paper/cardboard and the other was glass/plastic/metal. Which rules out a bonfire theory. Might do some holmesing tomorrow
