My spouse wanted me to order a new washing machine so the day of delivery, I removed the old one (still working) and pushed it out into the drive for the delivery truck to remove when they brought the new one. There was a removal charge. I turned around and what seemed like five minutes later, I discovered that someone had taken the old washer when I was not looking. I contacted the folks where I purchased the new machine and told them to refund the pickup and removal charge, which they did.
I admit that I have stopped and picked up some shelving to be used in my garage that I noticed at the end of someone's drive the day before trash pickup. One person's trash is another person's treasure.
