I don't think you can get HBC for anything, because the duty of care doesn't extend that far. I won't leave the back gate open, even if it means HBC can't collect my bin. We have a good neighbour who does see to the bin for us, but I do worry about the gate being left unlocked.

If you do get a dog in the backyard, be sure you put up a notice, otherwise you will be liable if some little toerag gets savaged whilst breaking in! You could try getting one of those gadgets that fit on a door handle, and when the handle is tried, all hell breaks loose in the form of barking from what sounds like a very large dog.

Why not have Busman in the yard from time to time - it sounds as though he would happily savage any intruders! I'll be happy to hold his coat.
