Re: I cant believe the ball$ on this person
Happy Friday people!! 
Seriously though, Stacey, go to the police. You're dealing with a wack job and you don't want to deal with further harrassment.
Spiteful or not, when you're taking handouts and looting through other people's garbage you have to have a serious pair to make demands of your own AND THEN to retaliate in that way... clearly this person is unbalanced.
If this was a normal person just down on their luck they wouldn't act like that.

But why should she ignore it? The response note was hostile and spiteful to begin with. She owes this person nothing and frankly I cannot empathize with someone who was down right rude and disrespectful for throwing her unwanted recycles all over her lawn in the first place. She was beyond presumptuous IMO with that response in to the OP's first note. She should have written " sorry about that, I will be careful next time " instead of being an ingrate to "free money" and personal property.
Even if crushing the cans was done out of spite why would you side with someone who is breaking the law and threatening her ? I don't get it .
Because I believe in having compassion for someone who has to rummage through cans to get money, that's why.
If the OP crushed the cans because she thought that it would stop the mess, then I apologize for saying it was spiteful because then there was a legitimate reason for it.
That is exactly why I thought the OP did it. If the cans and bottles were not there, this person would not rummage through her garbage and leave everything out on the lawn.
I understand the OP's frustration. She tried to be compassionate by asking the person, not to stop, but to not leave a mess. That person's response was that the OP should separate the cans and bottles. There was no remorse for the mess left. This is clearly a person, while in need, who does not care about the reprucssions of her actions.
Therefore, I think the OP's point in crushing the cans was to prevent this person from coming back and leaving a mess.
The OP didn't say whether the rummager was in fact neater after she left the first note. If the rummager was neater and left a note suggesting that the OP should sort them, then it sounds to me like the OP was just doing it so the rummager couldn't have them anymore because she was mad about the note.
If the rummager left a huge mess even after the OP's note, then you're right, she should have crushed the cans and I am totally wrong.
And no she wasnt neater after the first note
Then I apologize. You acted on the person's behavior, not just their note. The way you presented the story made me think otherwise.
And besides, I'm a perfect stranger. Who cares what I think of you?
And in that same sentiment,you DONT know me, so who are you to call me spiteful?
Because this is the internet and when you post something on a message board, you open yourself up to comments. Based on the way you wrote your post, you left out the key piece of info that the rummager made a mess even after you left the note. Without that info, it sounded like you were being spiteful. After you clarified, I apologized and I sincerely mean it. Get over it.
I'm starting to think you are the miserable garbage picker.

Please do not confront this person - they do not sound stable at all.
If I remember i do put those items in a different bag, just b/c I hate to be woken up by the sound of rummaging through my garbage BUT if someone did that to me I would put itching powder or something all over my garbage the next day
This is why we put ours out in the am, so no one can go through it at night and make a mess.

I also don't think you were wrong for crushing the cans. A sane person would have seen your first note and either not replied but not made a mess, or responded with a simple apology. Obviously they felt no need to respect your property and likely would continue to trash it if you kept providing cans and bottles for this idiot.
this is so true!

Re: I cant believe the ball$ on this person
I'd take those cans, put them in another bag and hand them to someone else.
I also agree not to confront this person. you never know how they can and will react.

Re: I cant believe the ball$ on this person
I would call the police. It is illegal what she is doing and the town gets money for the stuff in there that gets recycled. We had the same issue with someone taking all of our metal cans, not the depoist stuff and the only way to not be woken up at night by head lights shining in our house and the dogs waking up when he was rummaging was to not put our garbage out until the early morning. It is a pain but worth not having to deal with the person.

To the OP I would call the police just to let them know what is going on. If other neighbors are having issues then it is a big problem. She had some nerve telling you what to do with your garbage.

If the OP crushed the cans because she thought that it would stop the mess, then I apologize for saying it was spiteful because then there was a legitimate reason for it.
But if she just did it so this poor, possibly crazy person can't have them, then it's mean. She's within her rights to do it, and she should certainly take steps to make sure the mess doesn't happen again but to jump from a presumptuous note from SOMEONE LIVING OFF OF CANS to a 'Well if you're gonna be presumptuous then none for you' attitude was harsh.
I totally disagree with you. I mean, just b/c the person was collecting cans (that the OP had NO issue with until this person was violating her property) doesn't mean that the OP has to put ANYTHING out.
She could redeem them herself. I think it is INSANE to call the OP "spiteful" b/c she chose to crush the can, I think she had every right to do it!
Stacy, I'm so sorry, definitly call the police, we had to go to the annex by the mall once and they were excellent to deal with
