  Except in Germany. Anything put outside for refuse collection is considered property of the town or city.

  Taking something from the pile is punished as theft, and if caught, you will be fined.

    I was thinking that I could as well live in Germany, until this moment. Seriously.

    Yet if you asked your neighbor, you’ll not be fined.

    Which is the answer to this question anyway.
