Neighborhood theft

Some one stole my garbage can this morning (or last night)!  It was the older kind, a 20-gallon blue container with no wheels.  I had put it out for collection this morning, July 4, and when I went to retrieve it, all that was left was the lid.  A dastardly act, in the scheme of things, not a big deal, but I felt violated nonetheless.  I had the can for over 20 years and now will have to replace it, all because some jerk most likely wanted it to fill up with ice and beer bottles, for a lark.  Do such people even give a passing thought to the lack of consideration of their actions?
