A few weeks back when my upstairs neighbours moved out, the landlord got his builders round to clear out what they'd left behind. They put loads of black sacks full of stuff out front by the bins for the night meaning to come back and get it next day. Later that afternoon I glanced out the front window to see two guys systematically ripping through the bags to rummage for stuff. They left an awful mess. In theory, I'm all in favour of recycling and reusing but it felt intrusive for these guys to be going through this stuff on our front yard and horrid that they weren't respectful enough to clean up after themselves. 

It's one thing leaving stuff out on your front wall or on the street to be picked up by whoever wants it but going through bins and bags actually on a property without permission doesn't seem right to me.
