Lisa & Russell - Wheelie Bins That Can Be Seen From Space · Lisa & Russell

  Speaker 1: Lisa, I'd have to ask the question. How many bins
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: do you need at your home? How many have you got?
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Not this many. I've got two. You've got two? I
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: don't have the green one.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I have three.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: I've just got the red lid.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: And the yellow one. Okay, I've got the red, green
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and yellow.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Where have you really been is the question being posed
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: in Mount Lawley. There is a bizarre mystery. And a
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: collection of bins seen from space, which is a bit dramatic.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's Google Earth.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: You have to zoom in quite a few times.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: It's not like the International Space Station can see this
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: collection out the window. Oh, geez, what's that? No, Google
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Earth is pretty good at zoning in. But a bizarre
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: mystery has gripped Mount Lawley. Residents have been reporting their
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: wheelie bins have gone missing.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: We found them.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: And now they've been found. An enormous collection. Well, we're assuming,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I guess. We are assuming. Allegedly. These are the missing bins.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: We may have found them, allegedly.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I don't want to cast any aspersions on. But an
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: enormous collection of rubbish bins, so big it can be
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: seen from space on Google Earth, has emerged at one
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: local property on William Street.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: And locals have taken to social media to report their
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: bins missing. And now the extraordinary photographs emerging of what
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: appears to be a sea of green and yellow and
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: red crammed into the backyard of a Williams Street property.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Just as well they've got a quarter acre block there
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: because you'd need one to fit all those bins in.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: According to an anonymous Facebook post, it is a huge property.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: One resident claimed a woman had been spotted entering a
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: property and attempting to take a wheelie bin back. The
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: resident said they confronted the woman and asked her to
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: leave because the incident was frightening their young children. It
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: all sounds very strange.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: What are they being used for?
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. I hope they're not
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: all full of rubbish.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Are they being emptied?
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: And it's a big verge that they've got to go
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: out on.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I was just going to say, because the truck's going
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to be there for a while loading all those in.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: But I hope there's not rubbish in all those bins
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: because that's gross.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Well, the yellow bins should be okay as long as
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: they rinse their recyclables. But it's bizarre, isn't it?
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I still wouldn't want bins full of rubbish next door
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: to me. No. Some people do some weird things with
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: their houses. Remember the woman on the corner of Cedric
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Street whose house was covered in bin chickens? Oh, yes.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Because she used to feed them. I don't think she's
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: there anymore.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: No.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: And then there was something in the news this week,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: just this week, about something overrun with cats. Now, I'm
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: a cat lady from way back, but I wouldn't allow
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: that to happen. Well, not that many. Not that many,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: and I wouldn't allow that to happen where it's, you know.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Something else that's striking from this photo taken from space.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, on Google Earth.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: So, zoom in on the bins. There's all the bins
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: in there, but just another tip I'd say. Might want
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to get a roof painter in too. That roof looks
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: like it needs a bit of work.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Anyway. Anywho.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: There are missing bins and there are a lot of bins.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: At this stage, no connection between the collection and the
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: alleged thefts. It's a bit sus. But there's no connection
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: that's been established.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: No.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: But residents who believe their bins have been stolen are
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: encouraged to report the matter to the City of Vincent.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: And to WA Police. Oh, yeah, they're going to do something. Yeah,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: like they're going to be onto that. Well. Oh, we'll
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: be right round.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Well, it doesn't hurt to just come along and peek
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: over the fence and ask a couple of questions.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, but I don't think the police are going to.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Have you tried to report a theft to the police?
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: No, thankfully not recently, no.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think they have, probably don't have
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: the time. This is why we have the City of Vincent.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I think this is one for the Rangers.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I think so too.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: One for the Rangers. Anyway, we've found a lot of bins.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: We know where they are.
