I have that trouble occasionally too. I built a large framed trolley with
three divided wells for garbage cans. I made a small hole in the lids to run
the end of a rope through and tie off, the other end has a dog clip on it which
I snap around a top rail of the cart so when they pull the lids they don't
disappear. I have wheel barrow like handles which flip up to lift one end, the
other end is on two 10 inch wheels. The bottom is a big 'X' so that snow
doesn't so easily collect in it although in big falls it still sometimes takes
quite a bit of power to get it moving. I only usually have two cans in the
trolley the third well gets filled with cardboard or bagged yard waste which
doesn't go through the chipper. I just run the cart down to the street on
garbage day and back when I get home from work at night.
If I was Han Solo I'd probably pet my wookie

Years ago when I had a place in a mobile home park, my two trash cans started
coming up missing. With some help from some friends and family, we finally
found that the thief was the wind. It was often windy in the park, and the wind
would pitch the cans over on their sides and roll them down the street. We
finally took care of the problem by running a dog chain through one of the
handles on each can and then latching them together. I attached the other end
of the chain around my mail box pole. I never had a problem with them after
that. I even talked the waste disposal company into reconnecting them after
they were emptied.

Well there will be no way a tree branch would set it off. My mobile home
has a covered car port that goes the length of the mobile home it's self.
plus I have a tough shed at the end of the car port that's half under the
awning. This is where I'd like to set up some kind of security system.
This way I'd get full security of the car, the patio and anyone trying to
get into my shed.
