I do not really care if people pick up this stuff but not so sure that I want them driving around my neighborhood looking for things to take.
I put an old television out at the end of my drive for the recycler. It was taken by persons unknown in less than one hour.

These are public streets and open to all. In a true gated community, the streets are not public. We are a community with gates and not a gated community.

Makes no difference to me if someone other than the recycle truck takes things I put out for hauling away.

These people call themselves "Scrappers", not scavengers.
