I'm with the judge and police on this one. As far as I remember, once you put something in the garbage by the curb (or alley in this case I suppose) then it's legal for anyone, including you and me, to take it. I could be wrong on this though, but if you see a chair on the curb for garbage collection then you have the right to take it. Why not the police? Hmm, so is dumpster diving legal or illegal? Maybe I'm wrong about this.
