Lastnight me and my mate had gone round another mates who's neighbour has moved out of her council house and left cr@p all over the front garden. Tv's, tables, chairs, rugs...... Anyway in middle of it all was quite a groovy little girls bike with glitter all over it, pink, purple and new, my mate said are they really leaving that there and my other mate said yes they've just left everything and gone. So I said 'take it' no one else was gonna have it so I took it and gave it to my pregnant mate for if she has a girl. Now this morning my mate has text saying she feels really bad. Would you?
Vibra is right. They left it there so why shouldn't someone else enjoy it. You didn't take it for financial gain or to get something out of it. You found it a new home where it will be appreciated.
Don't think you should feel bad - what do they expect to happen when people leave things lying around? If it wasn't picked up by you to go to a good home, someone else would have had it away or vandalised it.
family near me did the same left all sorts of decent gear the lot was collected by the council and taken to the recycling yard.
If the yard men did not keep the bikes they go for scrap metal, the wood for pulp etc
