WHEN Julie Wall's wheelie bin went missing - she hit the roof and went off in a frantic search for it.
The mum-of-one looked high and low around Lound Street and Parkside Road in Kendal to no avail.
But the 10-year-old bin, with her house number on it, and an old sticker, was nowhere to be found.

Freelance hairdresser Julie, 47, is determined her new one will never be pinched again.
"I thought I'd 'pimp' it up a bit so at least then if someone tries to pinch it again, everyone will know it's mine," said Julie.
Julie, daughter Fin, and friend Mollie Martindale, both 13, got to work - applying a glow-in-the-dark skeleton, a 3D Winnie Pooh, and wrapping each handle in pink zebra print and the rim with leopard print, as well as her house number on all four sides.
Julie quipped: "The problem is it's far too nice to be outside in the yard now, I want to keep it in the house! I don't want to mucky it up with rubbish!"
