Putting stuff out the day before, especially stuff that might have some value but isn't worth either selling outright or hauling to Goodwill, is a pretty common practice: there are folks who drive around TV looking for just such things. Sort of a cottage industry: I've seen the same truck cruising our Villages (assumedly) looking for such stuff several times. Discarded chairs are common. I've left everything from a used flat-screen TV to used Lanai furniture to a really ugly planter that was here when we bought the house. Not a bad deal: we help the locals and don't impose on the contracted trash collectors.
