Vancouver is such a fucked up place sometimes. You're being ridiculous with your whole It's my property! How dare you steal my garbage!!! thing and the hippie is being an idiot for not just knocking on your door and asking for them.
People just knock on my door here and ask for my empties. Then we count them together and they give me 25% of the recycled value then haul them all away. I tried to refuse the 25% once but they just got angry.
not wanting uninvited people on your yard is a vancouver thing?
people knock on my door looking for empties too. girl scouts, high school football teams, shit like that. i open my garage and they have at 'er
not sure how you can make the mental leap from the OP to bitching about vancouver.
