Years ago, I read of a Hunter Valley garbage collector who was distressed at the increasing incidence of people sleeping in cars near the bins at supermarkets. Apparently, that's viewed as a safe place.
He was upset that he repeatedly scared children when he asked their mother to move the car so he could get at the bins. Clearly, the situation has not improved.
