LOL, that's the downside to kerbside cleanup. I heard of someone losing a TV that way.

I reckon he's dodgy
You don't see one item at one house, in good condition - there would be other shizz on verges.
He's a thief with a well composed excuse I reckon

It happens. There was as story in out local paper recently about some kids who had their bicycles stolen from their front lawn.

The following week, a follow up story....someone had taken them thinking they were for the council cleanup, and when they saw the story in the paper they returned them.

Saying that , if you saw a bbq on the front lawn , and we often do , it's saying , please take away , at least for parts .

Wow, working on that logic....down my way there's heaps of boats left out on the verge, unfortunately my little outlander isn't big enough to tow half of them.

Martin,
Did you get the guy's name by any chance?

I've had the missus standing on the verge for 6hrs now and no takers.

Maybe he had a fence to build.

Yep, you need to leave out stuff that explodes.

Before leaving home I did the stupid thing of putting my surfboard on top of the car while put all the windsurfing gear inside the car. My storage area is rather cramped so putting the board on top of the car was safer than putting it on the concrete driveway. Unfortunately I drove off with it still on top of the car. Where it fell off I am not sure, and it wasn't until I returned 3 hours later that I realised my folly. I never found the board so someone picked it, thinking it was an orphan or unwanted child. The good thing was that my insurance paid for a replacement. Personally, I would have preferred it if someone returned my original board. Do we live in a country of thieves or is it just the convict heritage?
