are we to understand that guy in the first pic carrying the bag is the worker and he just left it next to the car?
then a van pulls up and grabs it?
the guy in the van, if he had no relationship with the first guy, isn't committing a crime. the bag is on the curb like garbage... which is free to be picked up by anyone
of course, i'd bet they know each other.
Yes...but I don’t have the timing of the photos though I’ certain the police have that already and downpat.
Without the timing it might look as though a planned event...which is why I’m sure the investigation...though is reported the ATM workers are co-operating.
I think that might depend. I know there have been court cases about police picking up garbage from a specific house in order to search it for drugs and residue. It might be that you have an expectation of privacy in what you throw out.
This probably falls into a different category of "abandoned property", which is different from garbage. Not a crime to pick it up, but a crime to not turn it in.
