    [Starting this thread again but in this forum based on advise from AH]

    I discovered a Roma man rummaging through my bins this morning, and all the other bins on the road in the Ranelagh/Rathmines area. I took a photo of him and went into the guards on my way to work to complain

    I have never seen this before, is this common in Dublin?

    Well, its not a crime anyways since you've given up ownership of whats in the bin.

    Is it a crime to go through bins? I thought once you'd thrown stuff out it was fair game.

    How did you know he was Roma?

    Seems like a fairly innocuous thing for someone to be doing, unless they were making a mess of the bins i can't see why that would be much of a problem.

    Dont think Ive heard of it happening at the bin, by anyone.
    Dont think Id care who was doing it, I wouldnt want it happening.
    I make a point of shredding all I can with any important details, but its got all the dog cans and plastic rubbish in there too.
    I consider the bin is probably the recycling company's and Im responsible for it and any mess from my bin, Ive a contract with them to remove my rubbish, cant see that anyone has any right to interfere in anyone being responsible about disposing of their rubbish correctly.
    Cant say I want anyone rummaging around making a mess or finding the one bit of information I managed to miss.
