    whats the ground like and what you baiting them with? they like a bit of rough ground

    might also be worth devising a 'secret knot' on a bit of twine to hold the door shut. its not unknown for folks to lift and empty them for you

        Those sort of people don't use the door they just cut the pots open.

                As bait use the usual stuff + razor blades and used hypodermic syringes

                    had the same problem myself in the past, the 'secret knot' was final clue.

                    best way is to drop em one day and get out a stupid oclock early in the morning the next to lift them, or move them a good way off where you've been dropping them, but eventually the buggers will stumble upon them and start lifting them again
