    NOT breed specific....any dog turned loose to run amok will destroy stuff.

    CRATE IT!

    Because he CAN!! Crate him overnight, before he gets into something that puts him on the operating table!!

    ps How accurate is he with returning stuff belonging to members of the family - he may have a career as a sniffer dog!

    Perhaps you can block access to the trash so that he will not play with the trash at night. You can also take him to exercise or to the park so he could sleep at night.

    Because he's bored, curious and playful.

    Tidy your trash away so he doesn't keep doing this, one day he might hurt himself.

    Walk him more so that he sleeps at night.
