There’s a report of a “transient” raiding the Goodwill donation bin at 5156 Hollister Ave.

An unlocked garbage can on the lawn between the street and the sidewalk is usually considered public space. The plastic/bottles in the can you place on the lawn for recycling have a value. If someone reaches into the garbage and takes the plastic/bottles from the unlocked can would this be considered a theft?
Is the person “raiding” the unlocked donation bin containing clothing to be recycled committing a crime? If they take a donated item from the unlocked bin have they committed a crime?
Yeah, but “Goodwill” is more about the profit. Last charity I would give goods to.
@doulie I think you already know the answer and you’re just trolling. Short answer is yes, stealing is a crime. The parkway is usually not public property but it depends on plat map. Often property lines are to middle of the street, sometimes not. A public easement is private property not owned by the municipality. Besides the fact that it’s a break even at best for Marborg et. al. With so many services available, why condone theft?
What would Republican Jesus do?
Goodwill. It’s in the name. Let them take blankets, clothes and such. Goodwill should be putting items out for people that need them for cripe sake. My business is on a street where a lot of homeless hang out. I put stuff out with a free sign on it, if no one takes it, I bring it to Goodwill.
