Default Help me solve a Mystery!

I can't for the life of me figure this out, but here is what is happening. About once a month, when I put out my bags of trash and recycling for pickup, bags disappear before the regular pickup truck comes through.

For example, last night I put out three bags of recycling containing soft drink cans, food boxes, newspapers, and some glass along with some broken down cardboard shipping boxes. At 7:00 AM this morning one of them was missing. It's not the pickup team because they take it all. Puzzled, I scratch my head and come back inside. I had also put out three bags of trash last night, and around 8:00 AM I took another bag of trash out for pickup and two of the original three were missing.

OK, my first thought is that someone is trying to steal my identity but if so, why do they not take it all? And I have not had any issues with identity theft at all. This doesn't happen every week, but only occasionally.

There is probably a simple explanation for this, but I can't come up with it. Any thoughts? Does anyone else notice this?
