They said they thought it was to be recycled, but they did not put it in the back of the truck. He got the stuff back from them and called Community watch. They called police and the police got in touch with their boss. He told police the guys already called him and said they thought my neighbor left it for them to take. It was very clear they stole the stuff from my neighbor. It was very obvious he was packing his RV.
Was it placed near the road near what was being recycled? The only reason I ask is that I know someone who has left a case of beer or soda out by the road for the people who pick up trash as a gift around the holidays. Of course it's not the holidays right now, but maybe it was a mistake?
