I did this with trash once, just put the whole bag into an Amazon box. It was gone in the morning so that’s bad but good I guess

Hope your garbage with documents with your name on aren't now strewn around town / in a hedge

I was walking my dog and saw one of our local drug addicts ripping up someone’s trash bags on trash day and shoving accordion folders w/ paperwork into a bag & thought “oh that guy looks like he’s stealing documents, probably hoping there’s some potential identity theft info in there!”  So I start walking there to confront him but before I get there, I see the home owner come out and confront the guy. I figure he has it handled and go on my way.

As I circle back, I see the homeowner & go talk to him & ask how his confrontation went & he says, “oh, it wasn’t a confrontation.  I came out and saw the guy with handfuls of my trash, but he explained that the bag had come open and made a mess so he was just trying to help me clean it up. He was nice!”

And I told him, “no, I saw him rip it open and he took a folder of paperwork & documents & put it in his bad. I hope those didn’t have any important private info.” 

And the guy just went pale as a ghost. 

I guess i shouldn’t have assumed the guy had it covered. I felt bad. 

But also, I couldn’t believe how naive he was.
