Plastic Bin Heists on the Rise | Lincoln News

Plastic bin theft is exploding—especially around July 1st and 2nd—with reports dating back to 1998. Thieves are snatching everything from trash cans and mailboxes to garden gnomes and outdoor furniture, turning stolen bins into high-demand underground commodities. Bins are getting tougher, GPS-equipped, and harder to break, but that’s not stopping the surge. Victims are furious, frustrated, and feeling violated as bins vanish and resurface online. Officials warn the thefts are escalating, targeting more property and more neighborhoods. If you spot suspicious activity, report it—this is a community fight to reclaim our bins and our streets.
