AK>  What are "bin-liners"?


         I take this to mean new... or used... plastic bags of a type which is
often employed to cover the interior surfaces of a garbage can/trash bin/waste
receptacle and thus make it fairly easy to keep the container clean.  It's not
clear to me, however, whether or not the boxes & bags are empty.

         Perhaps somebody moved out of a business office or whatever, and left
discarded papers in these boxes & bags... and then some other person(s) looked
through the stuff hoping to find something useful to them.  WRT the bike, I've
heard of bicycle wheels being stolen here in Vancouver.  I wonder if the owner
forgot about it or chose to keep the wheels & abandon the other parts....  :-)
