I think it can eventually have some unintended consequences though. A few years back I visited Calgary and saw signs in parking lots warning people not to leave bottles in their car due to the risk of people breaking car windows just to steal bottles for their redemption value. Alberta has a 10 cent deposit for cans and bottles under 1L and 25 cent deposit for bottles over 1L. Hard to believe people would smash car windows for a couple of dollars.
- mr_tristan 8y agoAt least in Portland, the window smashers are very like homeless addicts. Many stories abound of people having their window smashed in, coins looted out of the glove box, but things like $400 pair of sunglasses just left to hang out on the dashboard. One of the most frequent posts on Nextdoor here are cars getting looted in front of their houses. (We have lots of homeless scrounging for change.)
