Rubbish Bins

Selema from Papatoetoe

Has anyone ever had their rubbish bins taken from the curb after collection day? This has happened where I stay numerous times now with both the rubbish and the recycling bin. You put your bin out on collection day and when you go back to collect it, it is not there. You go door knocking to neighbours and they all say they don't have your bin and yet on collection day you see your bin on the curb with someone else's rubbish in it. In the meantime your rubbish is left behind not collected because some insensitive ass has taken yours and use it along with their own. Have reported it to the council but I don't think it will change anything. Have painted big signs with my house number on the bins and still they get taken. Staked out the road sometimes to see who brings the bin back but I always missed them. Happened again this week and I stayed at the road until 10pm last night nothing and this morning it is back on the curb. I wanted to dump their rubbish out take my bin back to my house and put my own rubbish in. My house is at the back of a very long drive way so can't keep an eye out to catch them. Soooooooooooo frustrating.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
