The local rag-and-bone men have discovered my little street in the last week and keep coming back here to look through our dumpsters for anything useful.

I'm glad they are scavenging things that might otherwise go to waste, but now I have to lock up all the stuff I keep in my yard so it doesn't walk away with them.

@MLE_online When I was cleaning out my grandparents' house I got a dumpster, and I'd separate out all the metals and leave them on the ground beside it, but they didn't trust me, so I'd come out each morning and find half the contents of the dumpster pulled out and stacked on the ground beside it because they'd gone through all the drywall and bags of wood, sawdust, and rags. It was really frustrating. I had to talk to the dumpster people, find when they were coming, and load an hour before.

@smellsofbikes That's so annoying. People don't know how to behave
