Not the first time I've heard of it.

Homeless Woman Dies After Being Trapped In Pitt Meadows Donation Bin
My guess is about one a year.
We junkers are a different bunch.
But seriously, that is sad that some people will go that far for so little.
Scrap safely everyone.
I always keep a way to contact someone should something ever go wrong when I am out scrapping. I dumpster dive often and I turn on Siri's "Hey Siri" function so if I get in trouble, I can call for help. Normally I have that off since people love to prank with it, but I turn it on only when I am out and about dumpster diving. This is truly sad. My condolences for her family and friends.
From another news story the woman was standing on a stool that collapsed from under leaving here arms trapped.
IMO, the theft proof door on the clothing bin acted like a Chinese finger as it were intended as for the stool don't trust anything made in China. Whenever I go dumpster diving the wife always insists on accompanying me, makes for a cheap night of entertainment.
Just because she had a Hummer H3 doesnt mean she was rich lmao!!!
True!
She probably had some bank though from re-selling all her stolen donation box prizes.
When I was in High School I worked at a Drug Store, the parking lot had a Salvation Army Box for donations in it.
The lady across the street would go to the box, bring a step ladder and get her probably 3 to 4 year old grandson inside the box and have him throw out donations.
She would then run garage sales in her yard- selling the stolen stuff- All TAX FREE.
Made me sick!
