Dear neighbors,
It really wouldn't be any skin off my nose to take my daily VitaminWater bottle out to the curb and discover you've stuffed my recycling bin with coffee cans and Reddi-Whip cylinders, except that I'm kind of concerned that you might've put a #5 plastic container in there, because the city only takes #1 and #2, and if there is a #5 plastic container in there, the san man won't just happily toss it on the garbage truck, but your #5 plastic container will end up left behind in my recycling bin, at the edge of my yard, with a big fluorescent pink sticker on it declaring to all who pass by that the City of Ann Arbor Does Not Accept #5 Plastic Containers, shame shame shame on me, and then your trash becomes my trash, for me to dispose of.
Please get your own recycling bin. They're free fer cryin' out loud.
Yrs very truly,
Kimmijo

Shove said #5 container under said neighbor's car's passenger-side rear tire. Let 'em wonder what they ran over. Use the 'damn kids' party-line if they bitch.

I don't know which neighbor did it. I put the containers on the curb last night because sometimes the trucks come before I'm ready on trash morning. The stealth bin stuffing occurred under cover of darkness.
Hmmm. Perhaps some Looney-Tunes style spring loaded trap is in order....
Can you acquire the bins on their behalf? Maybe douse anyone without a bin on trash day with a run-by binning?
Perhaps I should lie in ambush, waiting to blast them with my coffee-and-everything-bagel-with-scallion-cream-cheese breath.
