Bag lost or stolen - advice from Hong Kong

Hunting For Missing Bags
I was telling a friend about how I lost (presumed stolen) a bag in Singapore. She told me that in Hong Kong the police advise: if you have lost a bag, go back to the place where you last had it and hunt in all the nearby bins. The thief or finder may have taken out the cash and tossed the incriminating bag into the nearest bin.

Emptying Bins
In some countries such as Singapore the bins are emptied daily, at least the bins for perishables are emptied daily to prevent plagues of rats.  In the UK summer we are worried about flies and maggots too. In many places, mosquitos, cockroaches, insects. In the USA bears and raccoons are a major concern in some States.

Dry Goods Bins
If the bag has been tossed into the paper and dry goods recycling bin you have a better chance that somebody will find the bag.
