Remember, the crooks are watching your trash

Just a quick reminder: Be careful what you throw away over the next week or so. A lot of burglars like to watch for houses that have thrown out boxes for new computers, TVs, etc. It's another way they can tell if you've got something worth stealing.

Soooooo

What SHOULD we do with our trash???

[James Hart]

I usually waited about a month to throw away boxes from "big ticket" items, and I'd tear the box into smaller pieces, which I'd put into a bag.

I agree with James. Little by little, put them in your recycle/trash. Tear them up and mix the parts of the boxes that go each week.

All of the boxes from the liquor store should pretty much tell my story.

Oooor,if you live in the country.. you can burn them.

Burglars would look at our trash and feel fortunate.

I moved my husbands recliner outside next to the trash pile. He likes to sit there with his rifle and waive to people admiring our "big ticket" boxes.

Eat that bag of trash I guess. How much work must we make of trash disposal that we have to spend time to tear boxes into pieces because we cannot count on the police to do thier job and patrol your neighborhood.

I guess they are busy with "other priorities" again.

Being a crazy red neck, former Marine, gun toting nut, I like to throw out the boxes, turn off the lights, and sit there quietly grinding my teeth in wait. But then I realize I live in a great neighborhood where the police patrol on a regular basis, so I order the two 120 lbs Akita's to patrol the house and I go to bed.

Most robbers aren't that dumb. The apperance of your house will tell them if there is anything GOOD inside. What a joke.
