| People taking from your Recycling Bins
Question is, has anyone had this happen to them? If so, what did you do?
Our recycling bins are in our backyard, we drag them out to the street on pick up days. Over the last little while we started to notice that our bottles have gone missing from our recycling, but then other things would get stolen like decorations on our patio furniture.
We put up a security camera and discovered an old asian guy coming in and out of our property. Since we don't put decorations out anymore we don't have video of him taking anything. We don't like the idea of people trespassing whenever we're not home.

Parents have one of these to keep raccoons and cranes away from her koi pond. Motion activated sprinkler. Point it at the gate and let someone walk in. The only downside is you need to get in somehow. You could buy a timer and have it set for the hours that you're away at work or if you park on the other side of the house you can just turn it off by hand whenever you want so you don't get hosed while walking in your back yard.

Best thing you can do is not have anything that can be returned for a deposit in your recycling.
I'm not saying this is the same as your case but my friend lived at this one place where they would leave all their bottles just on the yard on the tables or where ever and a guy would just walk into their yard and pick them all up. I guess they provided so many bottles the guy would pick up the garbage for them too.

Put a sign in English and have his face printed out basically saying you caught him taking stuff from your house. If it happens again you will be going bringing this to the police. Hopefully that will scare him off.
You can also put a sign saying this is a monitor area.

if your back yard is fenced you can also put a lock on it.

beat the shit out of him and post it on RS
caman guys
but no seriously, even if you've got film on him not taking anything, isn't he technically trespassing?
i like that idea of printing out an image of him then overlay a red x on top of it

Reminds me of my neighbour. He told this one homeless man to take his cans. We live in an apartment in Kitsilano. One day he heard rustling on his patio and looked out side. Homeless guy has hopped his patio fence and was grabbing the cans.
My neighbour is 6'4", 240lbs with the largest hands you've ever seen. He flipped. The guy hasn't never come back. haha

Happens in our neighborhood every week. Sometimes they come in our backyard and steal cans that are boxed up outside out back door on a rack.
My wife caught someone on Monday morning in our yard, she told them to get the fuck off our property and was met with a "Calm down lady" from the shitbag in our yard. I wish I was home or that I had kept the super aggressive American Bulldog we adopted for situations like that.
When we move I'm getting another guard dog, I mean the border collie my kid wanted is smart but he's a fucking pussy.

At my parents house the old Asians in the neighborhood used to walk right into the yard and go through the bin that was deep into their property, I snapped at the guy one day when I was leaving for work because he was like 40 feet into their property from the curb..
Where I live now there is actually a super respectful guy that rides his bike around collecting, I usually try and save my bottles and cans up and just give him a bag full when I see him as opposed to leaving them out for some crack heads or someone else who might be lurking around

I saw a senior asian lady taking walking around my neighbourhood at night collecting everyone's cans and bottles from the blue bins.. i felt bad, so i went out and offered her $20 bucks just so she wouldn't have to get 5 cents at a time. In broken english, told me that its ok, and she doesn't actually need the money.... #asians

This is going to date the hell out of me but...
Back in my club hopping days, between Richard's, Palladium, Love Affair and Mars, there was an old Asian lady that would walk around all night, collecting empties. Guys would offer her bottles, hotdogs and cash all the time. Come to find, she owned a few homes DT and was fucking loaded. She collected cans just to get out and get exercise. Some said she owned the diner on Richards/Helmcken, where the hookers used to hang out.
You can obviously differentiate the collectors from the crackheads. I like the idea of plastering his face on a poster, saying stay the fuck out.

I saw one old couple where the husband drove and his wife got out of the car to pick it up.
Taking from the blue bin is fine but going into someone's yard and taking their belongings is different.

When I was 10 I used to go into people back yards and steal bottles. That's actually how I bought Super Nintendo when it first came out. Those were the good days before the homeless made it a job

Who cares your throwing them out anyways. We put a blue bin in between our gas pumps and lots of people throw cans in there. They could come in the store and get there deposit back but they don't. It's easy money for us. I now even look in the other garbage cans for empty now. Putting Three Kids Through College by Redeeming Cans and Bottles - ABC News

Actually give the guy in my area credit, for an older guy he bikes around a fuck load, probably keeps him in good shape and makes some side cash

They would go around collecting cans and bottles all day long and if there is some used furnitures out there they will take it. I am sure it save them tons of money but is that the life you want? I mean sure they own both of their Duplex and bought their daughter an apartment but their house smell like piss inside out and the furnitures and electronics they used are like in the 80s and 90s. When we go dimsum with them they always order sticky rice or rice only so it fills their stomach and they don't need to order other things......

It's another for them to come onto your property to dig through them, and then steal other things while they're at it.

I have to lock empty cans up in my garage, that's fucked up IMO when I have a rack that I built at my backdoor that I can store them on.

From a home security point of view, even the cops say to lock away the blue box, garbage cans, or keep them right at the edge of your property/lane.
The number one excuse they get from the crackheads they run into that are trying to break into/steal shit from your house is that they're "binning." They'll even carry a single can with them to support that flimsy excuse.
