Only think though of the huge pile of empties when you sell your house.
When I was 12 my parents bought a market-garden in a small town in Devon. The previous owner had not been very successful at the business but had written a thriller which had been turned into a feature film. He and his wife sold up and moved to Bermuda.
Every shed and greenhouse was stuffed with empty beer bottles; presumably the couple had been too embarrassed to put them out for the dustman. I don't actually remember how my father got rid of them, but they did disappear over a couple of days. In one shed there was a wooden trunk full of phials of injectable vitamins as well.
Obviously I dare not name the one-hit writer, but if you look for a novel about a security van robbery that goes wrong, you may find it.
