Exactly what I did after my last big TV purchase! Leaving the empty box outside would have been a big neon sign, 'Break into THIS house!'

Our trashcans are dumpsters in the alley running behind our street and they are shared by half a dozen houses. Guess they'd have to guess WHICH house. Could really confuse them and put the trash in the dumpster for the NEXT set of 6 houses ;-)
