Default Stolen trashcan

Whenever I have purchased (or had issued to me by my local government) a
trash can I have taken two spray paint cans with contrasting colors, and
marked the can up, all over, in a pretty distinctive manner. If it does
blow away I can identify it visually several hundred feet away. None of
them have ever gone missing, but if one did, and I suspected theft, I'd
just drive around my neighborhood on trash day looking for it.

Of course if the thief lives more than a couple of miles away I probably
won't find it for a few weeks, if ever.


Well, where I live the commie socialist garbage haulers all issue
their customers their very own trash cans. So nobody has to steal one
because they get theirs free from their garbage hauler.
