That's stupid. It's just another way for the city to try and make money off of what are otherwise law-abiding citizens.
Actually, I think they are trying to make money off of the trash (recycling is apparently a big business) and they get mad when other people try to get in on their game.
The city say these "thefts" cost them $30,000 a year.
And actually, the people in the air conditioning "theft" case were actually fined a total of $4000, not $2000. There were two people--one driving and one picking up the a/c and they were EACH fined $2000.
its all a big waste of time snooping. you know why? the biggest wild cards to anyones financial health are illness,divorce and job loss and that is most likely not even on the radar yet as your going through their garbage... even if you did know ,so what. are you moving because you neighbor had a heart attack or is getting divorced? that will have a much bigger effect on their financial well being than that cab ride.
i have to say this persons logic is one of the most boneheaded i have seen in a long time in our threads.what are you going to do move everytime you dont like what you see in the garbage pail.?
just idiotic if you ask me.
talk about living with pretenders. he pretends to be their neighbor and then spies on them snopping into their lives.. maybe get a ladder and peak in the bedroom window.
he should post his own financials and let us evaluate him...

There may be panic and a breakdown of civil society I'm afraid.
No, our society has become too regimented and controlled for that to ever happen. The police states of yore have NOTHING on today. Control is COMPLETE.
Odds of a breakdown of "civil sociey" are about as good as a stockade full of sheep running amok before they are made into lamb chops.
The days when the French took their kings, ducs and comptes and marched them up the scaffold to meet Madame Guillotine are not possible today.
