They put out this shelf and I want it, but I don’t want to seem strange? It would make a nice plant shelf, but it’s not something I can scurry away with, so people would see me while I carried it. Is that a bad thing to do?

EDIT: Never mind. Someone beat me to it. 😭

      Except in Germany. Anything put outside for refuse collection is considered property of the town or city.

      Taking something from the pile is punished as theft, and if caught, you will be fined.

        I was thinking that I could as well live in Germany, until this moment. Seriously.

        Yet if you asked your neighbor, you’ll not be fined.

        Which is the answer to this question anyway.
