1. Throwing away your bank or or confidential information without proper shredding of the same may get it landed onto the hands of a credit thief.
2. The recent Enthiran movie (Robot in Hindi and Robo in Telegu)  showed the ill-effects of dumpster diving. Having been totally dissatisfied with his robot, Dr. Vasee dismantles and throws away the robot into a landfill dumpyard. The product still has active battery with its neural schema fully functional and intact.  This lands into the hands of his maligned guide (Dr. Bora) who thieves the neural schema diverting it to to make illegal robotic kits for the terrorists.
