Can someone please explain how this constitutes theft. Under British law, does recycling left on a public street instantly become the property of the State? Could someone link to the relevant British legislation around this.
- PJDK 6y agoNot a lawyer - but the act of putting something on the street doesn't make you stop owning it. If you leave a bike unlocked and someone takes it they still stole it, even if you were unwise not to lock it up.
- scottlocklin 6y agoThis is happening in Spain, not the UK. The truly hilarious thing about this is while they're apparently on the ball about gypsies stealing cardboard, the Spanish police mostly don't care about squatters moving into your house and trashing it. https://english.elpais.com/elpais/2018/03/20/inenglish/1521552348_789706.html https://english.elpais.com/elpais/2018/03/20/inenglish/15215... https://www.euroweeklynews.com/2020/04/27/spanish-police-evict-gypsy-squatters-from-ex-pats-home-on-the-costa-del-sol-stuck-in-the-uk-under-lockdown/ https://www.euroweeklynews.com/2020/04/27/spanish-police-evi...
