    Default Good idea but not very practical.

    Binlock | Protect your Identity

    Anyone who's into identity theft is just going to wait for bin day when everyone usually puts them out the night before or in the morning on the way too work,either way theres probably a good few hours its going to be sitting there unlocked.

    Unsure if the laws here in Aus allow for people to go through your bin while its on the curb anyway.

    Could come close.. But unless you threw something VERY important away.. :P

    Most likely, who ever goes thru your bins will just find out your name.. But, it depends what you throw in the bin..And how well its readable


    - If I locked my bin... I would see myself forgetting to unlock it on binday tho LOL..

    or you could get some chain and a pad lock and then drill a hole in the lid and your done. but jut think, wouldnt the person just come on bin day when it has to be unlocked??

    Oh and for the low price of $39.95.
    And vkcommo, Yeah that is probably the easiest/cheapest way, you could probably be charged if someone dobbed on you, defacing/damaging goverment property..
