A garbage can theft back in August was reported to Geneva police at 3:26 p.m. Jan. 4, after the victim said he was still being charged for the can by Advanced Disposal. 

According to the report, a 95-gallon garbage cart was stolen sometime between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. Aug. 21 outside a residence in the 2100 block of Sheffield Lane. The victim told police that the rolling garbage cart valued at $313.95 allegedly was dropped off by Advanced Disposal but he has continued to receive monthly service bills for the stolen can.

Advanced Disposal representatives advised him that he needed a police report to document the theft and exonerate him from his financial obligations.
