Wondering if anyone had a solution to a problem I’ve been having. Some druggie keeps coming onto our property and cutting open the vacuum clean out doors to root through the trash and look for loose change. He’s hit us 9 times in the last 3 weeks. I welded on some L- shaped pieces of steel to secure the bottom door but he just cut the locks on the top door and went through the bags. He didn’t seem to like this extra security and he took a knife to all of our filter bags; sliced them up beyond repair. I clean the vacs daily now but that doesn’t seem to deter him - were usually pretty busy so there’s enough trash that accumulates between the time I clean in the morning and when he hits us at night. I’m
going to weld the top in the same configuration but I’m worried about him prying the hinges. Anyone have an idea of how to protect the hinges? I’ve attached a picture of what I’ve done on the bottom / am going to do on the top.
