Actually had that happen to me in Germany with glass instead of plastic, iirc. :>)
It was a nut-job, busy-body neighbor who turned us in, but it actually happened. An innocent mistake on our part, putting the brown in with the green, but the next thing we knew we were being cursed out and the polizei were on their way.
A German neighbor friend straightened it out for us. (Never mess with the Polizei. :>)
Isn’t it funny that society rejects Gods laws for “freedom” and ends up writing billions of stupid laws to replace the ten commandments.
