A mum has been left fuming after her 'cheeky' neighbour has continued to move about and use her bins without her permission.
The Mirror reports that the man has filled the woman's wheelie bin with his own rubbish countless times, and even moves them to the point she can't get in her front door.
Taking to popular online social forum Mumsnet, the anonymous mum asked for advice on how she could deal with the annoying issue.

She said: "I moved into a new house and everyone puts the bins out the front, next to my front door.
"There is enough space on each side for me and my neighbour to place our bins next to our doors without going over the boundary into each other's space."
The woman continued: "However, my neighbour had their bins significantly over onto my side, meaning my bins overlap my front door on the key side.
"So thinking that it must have been a temporary situation while the place was empty I moved their bins back onto their side and moved my bins so that I could access my front door properly.
"They were also using my bins while the place was empty meaning when I moved in I had very little space left for bin day. Not the best when you're moving as you end up with a lot of rubbish.
"I didn't want to be petty so didn't say anything but I thought their behaviour was a bit cheeky/inconsiderate.
"Then on bin day the male neighbour brought my bin back in and left it askew under my front window not by the front door where it was and moved his bins back even further into my side than they were before. I didn't ask him to bring my bin in.
"Perhaps I'm being over sensitive but I really feel that his behaviour was a bit of a message. As if he's trying to tell me where I should put my bins. This has happened more than once.
"The boundary of the two houses is very clear (a drainpipe and different colours of roughcast) and he has enough space on his own side for his bins but seems to want to insist that he should be allowed more space at my expense.
"I don't feel I can approach him as I feel that he's being quite passive-aggressive. I don't want bad feelings as they seem otherwise nice and say hello, but I don't want taken advantage of either."
The woman added: "I'm thinking of putting up a trellis between us (making sure it is attached to my side only) which would just block him from even being able to do this with the bins, but don't want any trouble."
Since sharing her concerns online, the woman's post on Mumsnet has been filled with comments, as people rushed to give their advice on the unusual issue.
One person wrote: "This would really annoy me. It's my house and my bin so keep off mate. Stick a trellis up."
Meanwhile, someone else said: "Trellis up on your side sounds like a great idea."
