    You’re right it’s not, so when it smells bad, clean it.

    Well than it’s not working, because microbial action causes the smell.

    It’s a garbage can, what harm can come from someone using it? And if you don’t want it touched, put it in your backyard or lock it. Are people not free to walk up to your house and touch your doorbell?

    If I had an apple tree in my front yard that’s not fenced, yes the neighborhood could freely help themselves, obviously a bike is an entirely different situation, and using it as an example is fallacious.

      Hmm, personally wouldn’t treat fruit trees like fair game unless they’re on public property. Seems many US jurisdictions would consider it petty theft or something.

      Common punishment would probably be smart doorbell footage of the “burglar” going up on Nextdoor :)

        It’s called an attractive nuisance and you could be liable if someone climbs the tree to get some.

        Have some personal accountability for the stuff the public can access, kids aren’t always taught to know better.

      I’m no scientist, but it seems to turn my food scraps into dirt without smelling bad.

      It’s a garbage can, what harm can come from someone using it?

      The harm is that I can no longer quietly enjoy my yard. Because it smells like poop.

      And if you don’t want it touched, put it in your backyard or lock it.

      I have to take the trash to the curb in order for it to be picked up. I leave for work before they pick it up, so it’s out all day. During that time, it racks up 3-5 dog poops, guaranteed.

      You’re being obtuse. A doorbell is intended to be used by the public.

      If I had an apple tree in my front yard that’s not fenced, yes the neighborhood could freely help themselves, obviously a bike is an entirely different situation, and using it as an example is fallacious.

      The only thing I can think of is that you must not live in a city. We get a lot of foot traffic here from people who I haven’t met and probably never will. If they all felt entitled to pick from my imaginary apple tree, it would be bare in a week.

        Actually, I live in a high traffic area, so I know my bin may get used, I know an apple tree could be an attractive nuisance.

        Some kid climbs your Apple tree, falls, now your liable because you couldn’t be arsed to know your locality or protecting you’re own fucking shit like you’re always supposed to.

        Don’t be high and mighty and miss the fucking field beside you, your own examples are prime examples AGAINST being neighborly despite your bullshit spewing:
