Our trash can lid walked off from its perch on top of our trash can in
the alley one day five or six months ago. It was a rainy day, and I
suppose the trash can lid may have served as an impromptu umbrella.

No, this could apply to others but it does not explain MY lid losses.
I DON'T put the cans out with the lids still on on trash pickup day.
In MY experience, the lids are stolen when the cans are NOT on the
curb.
Someone walks up to my porch area when it is NOT trash day (and also
not particularly windy) and steals the lids, lids that are sitting
quietly on the top of the cans.

In my experience the lids usually don't get stolen but rather get
tossed
off the cans during trash day and then roll and blow to neighbor's
houses where they get thrown away. I've had no problems so far with my
lids but I also take them off the cans when I place the cans on the
curb. Then again, I may just be lucky...

To the list:
Stealing a trash can with a neighbor's address painted on it and then
planting it so the victim can see the stolen trashcan full of others'
garbage has got to be a new low.
But, has anyone ever solved the mystery of the stolen lids? I have
only
had a few instances where my garbage cans have been stolen, but the
lids
always seem to get stolen within a month or two of their first
appearance.
WHAT does one do with collections of stolen garbage can lids, I
wonder?
Does anyone understand WHY it is worth someone's efforts to purloin
these?
