Nicely written Waterbuck ! And......ja.......it is amazing how folk don't think about how a refuse bin cld/can be used very creatively by an aspirant burglar/ thief......i.e. for scaling high walls, palisade fences, whatever........quite apart from using them to cart their loot around.....
I once asked a neighbour whether she'd consider not keep her ladder in her back space (....because it compromised the safety of both of us). I was thought to be over-the-top......and........the ladder remained where it was..... But.....I was the person broken into, the thief ably assisted by the builder's rubble dumped under *my window* by same neighbours. Some folk just don't get it.........until.............it happens to them...... So.....ja....... It would be good if we'd take a little time out to sweep up our broken glass (....tokens of victory for vandals and thugs) when our cars get done. And try not to leave your wheelie bins out (.....it may be used to scale your wall or your neighbour's wall).
