1. ensure your bin has an identifying mark - say your house number painted
on, you'd soon know if the bin was stolen.

I've always wondered about this. If you put your house number on, and your
bin is still on the pavement when everyone else has taken theirs back in,
isn't it a bit of a give away that you're working late and your house is
empty and available for burgling?
