Thanks a lot you piece of shit. What makes you think that you have the right to pull up to my property, and walk over to the side of my house and pick up a recycle bag full of pop bottles?
You broke the law dirtbag, tresspassing, and theft. The bag was not at the curb so it wasn’t in the public domain, and it wasn’t even garbage day. My kids had just spent a couple of hours going around the neighbourhood collecting them. It was part of an excercise in them learning about the value of things and a way to earn a bit of spending money. I spend time explaining to my kids how nothing in life is free and if you want something that you have to work for it, and earn it, which they did by collecting the bottles and cans, and then the likes of you comes along and prove me wrong…there are free things in life….shit that you STEAL from other people’s property. I don’t have your license plate number but the kids gave me a description of your truck (they were all there and watched you take the cans, but what are they going to do or say to a full grown man, and I’m sure if they told you to leave them you wouldn’t have listened). My friend, if I ever see you pull some shit like that again on my property or any of my neighbours property, look the fuck out is all I can say. I’ll let you keep all the cans and bottles, but you’ll have to extract them out of your arse cause that’s where they’re going to be shoved, and I’ll make sure they all fit, cause I’ll kick the fucking things up as high as I can with my steel toed workboots. Keep your fucking pilfering hands off of my stuff, or you might fucking lose them!! I know there has been bitches about “bottle bums” before, but this motherfucker takes the cake!!

WTF?!
I was gobsmacked when I got to the words ‘license’ and ‘plate’.
How powerfully douchbagish…
He’ll be back. Just get another bag ready and a camera.
I’m willing to bet it was a newer dark blue Ford (maybe GM???) pick-up with a really nice cap on the back painted to match the rest of the truck…perhaps a person of African decent driving? I’ve seen this individual pilfering my neighbourhood.
I’ve had a guy come up on my second story balcony to take one Jones Soda bottle. You couldn’t even see it until you got up there, so he must just randomly go looking.
I said the same thing Dogma. Up until that part I think we all were assuming this was a homeless person with a shopping cart full of bottles and I was ready to defend him.
What the fuck is wrong with people?
“I’ll let you keep all the cans and bottles, but you’ll have to extract them out of your arse cause that’s where they’re going to be shoved”
If/when you manage to do this, please post a file on youtube. Pretty please?
Some people are disgusting. Just like those fucks who go around stealing pumpkins from little kids at halloween 🙁
Unless he has a bastard child to forcibly take care of, why in bloody hell would anyone steal bottles. That’s over my head.
PK — Every single Halloween since ’97 my pumpkin has gotten smashed. I should have stopped already but I’m entertained that this is how hallo-hater gets his kicks one way or another. At least they’re not picking on mini Screams and Ninja Turtles.
pay attention children, this is what you do when a bum comes along and steals your cans. you lay in wait and then you assault him… teach ‘m real good. yup.
Keep up the good work, Dad.
*gag*
Yup, that’s friendly Nova Scotia for ya! *rolls eyes* Give your head a shake.
Davis…not sure it was a bum who took the cans unless the bums in this city can afford to drive a truck! If the blue recycling bag is put out on the curb then by all means take it. However if it is in my backyard or even in my driveway you better stay the hell off my property, it is trespassing.
PK, someone stole my 5 year old son’s pumpkins last Halloween, the day after we drove to the valley to pick them out. We had such a nice day doing that only to be ruined by some asshat stealing them that night. My son was devastated and I was seriously pissed off. People need to start respecting boundaries.
bum –noun
1. a person who avoids work and sponges on others; loafer; idler.
Thanks for the definition Kay but I was referring to this definition:
Bum or Bums may refer to:
* a slang term for a homeless person, panhandler, or a “forgotten man.”
Who generally would not be driving around in a truck.
Funny, I have people digging through our recycle dumpster at our building on a daily basis. Some of them have cars too. Seriously, I don’t mind the cart people picking them up, but if you can afford a vehicle, fuck off.
On an related note, to the bottle collector who is always in the Leiblin Park neighborhood around 11:30ish on Saturday, I hope you get a new rearview mirror.
“pay attention children, this is what you do when a bum comes along and steals your cans. you lay in wait and then you assault him… teach ‘m real good. yup.

Hey Davis, I never said this guy was a bum..you did. I said that there have been other “bottle bum” bitches, but I was not directly implying that this guy was a bum of any sort, what I meant was we have already covered the subject of people who feel they have the right to help themselves to others property.
This happened two days after my Daughter had her new (bought late last year) bike stolen right out of our back yard as well. Am I pissed about that…you bet….did I bitch about it, nope because at the end of the day, it was my fault for not making sure that the bike was put away properly or locked up by either my daughter or myself…our fault….not much room to complain there I guess, other than to gripe about people thinking my property is a “come help yourself store, everything is free”.
As for the rest of your comment…give me a little credit (even though you don’t know me), The last thing I want to do is to impart to my children that violence is the answer, and we all know, or at least I would hope we all know that most of the chest puffing and “i’m gonna do this, and I’m gonna do that” comments posted here, are mostly hot air…but you know what…it really helps to relieve the stress and hostility I feel towards this guy. Maybe you own nothing of value, or have never had anything that was yours taken or damaged. It’s not a nice feeling, and certainly when it’s something that you have worked hard for. Would I really try to shove some cans up this guys ass…probably not, but it sure was fun thinking about doing it. More than likely, if I see this guy again, I will tell him in no uncertain terms what I think of his “help myself” attitude, and warn him of repercussions if I catch him doing it again.
So tell me Davis, how would YOU react in a similar situation, what would YOU do and think if it was you on the losing end of it. What bits of wisdom would YOU impart to your kids? That sometimes in life mean nasty people do things to you and by god, you don’t want to stoop to their level, so you just bendover and take one for the team? It’s better to say nothing and just sweep the whole thing under the rug?
Well put MMI. People always assume that we are going to go and kick someones ass in front of our kids….as if that is going to happen!!! Venting our frustrations on LTWWB way usually is sufficient to get rid of most of violent feelings but I have to say that the visuals I got from imagining you shoving cans up his ass made me smile. You sound like a great Dad trying to teach your children the value of working for something they want.
Davis would probably get an alpha male to do the fighting. Like Kay does. They sound so much alike I was surprised not to see Kay’s name attached to that comment.
why leave them outisde? put them inside in the basement or on a step or in a garage instead.
wow… exchange the word “bum” in Davis’ comment with the word “person”. I would think the theft would give you opportunity to teach your kids how to recognize futility and learn a practical coping mechanism to deal with justified anger in additional to prevention. I would think you’d teach them how to file a police report explaining that police may not be able to do anything about it but having the complaint on record can help them investigate in a way we cannot as private citizens.
For the record, I would not invite violence onto a thief unless he were trying to physically “steal” my privacy and dignity… and only if my sense of self-preservation was bigger than he was. Otherwise I’d call the cops or my husband in to deal with it. oooh bad Kay bad Kay
this is silly. cans left out side in recycle bags are (stolen) by (a man who is possiby a bum but were not sure because he was driving a truck)
yeah file a police report on that one for sure. “umm yeah officer he was really gouchy, green and lives in a friggin trash can, oh no, no, he was not a bum he had a truck. well what do you think a bum is? Yeah,yeah I agree the traditional definiton seems to be a beggar, but yeah, yeah, he smelled bad.”
I think the cops might have something to go on if every person this THIEF affected filed a report. The cops may be able to distinguish a pattern in his timing and logistics, catch him then contact you to file trespassing charges while also charging him with a criminal offense, “theft under $5k”.
Kay, I’d steal your kid’s bottles and welcome you to get your husband after me.
You’re such a “tiny” excuse for a man I’m sure the cops could catch you waddling down the street with my bottles 90 minutes later… you’d still be on the same block all winded, ya fat fuck. Try it.
Cops have better things to do than chase empty bottles.
And I would be the type to slap your ugly kid, slap your womanly husband then slap the moustache right off your top lip. 😀
Cops have NOTHING better to do when multiple complaints come in over the same criminal.
“womanly husband”… LOL that’s a good one! If only you knew who you were talking about HAHAHA
And no, there’s no mustache nor mistaking my gender, Fat.
Maybe if ol’ NFG did his own lawn care he might be able to find his balls by the time the summer’s over… doubtful but worth a try. Just so you know… you probably love and adore my husband. His music entertains you all the time, I’m sure. Oh, and my kid’s a pro snowboarder.. you do the math.
My bullshit meter is going off the fucking scales right now. Jesus lady, do you ever come down off of that pedestal you’ve invented for yourself?
Insulting me, my husband and my kid is the wrong way to go about it if you really want me to come down.
kay you and your family don’t only deserve a slapping, but it sounds like you all need one. i should get my pimp mitten ready to give you some three stooges treatment 😀
