The Cellar - View Single Post - Ethics of eviction personal property grab

It's stealing.

That it's Glatt, of all people, asking this question is a little disappointing.

Unless the tenant's stuff was put on the curb, as trash, by the tenant, taking it would be stealing.

If your kid left his bike by the curb, and it disappeared, you'd say "Someone stole my kid's bike.", and you'd be right in saying so.

Eviction workers putting the tenant's stuff by the curb doesn't make it trash. It makes it some unfortunate bastard's stuff by the curb.

Ain't legal. Ain't ethical. Ain't moral. Ain't cool.

I wouldn't do it, and I (used to) consider my ethics to be a damn sight slacker than Glatt's.

Shame on you for thinking about stealing this person's stuff.
