Ethics of eviction personal property grab

Undertoad · 04-21-2015, 03:15 PM

I should add that I left a lot of stuff in my shithole rental and at some point they are going to remove it all and put it in a dumpster. Legally it's not mine anymore (and thank goodness) since I left it in someone else's house. I do not care if someone comes along and gets my old garden hose and moldy wooden wine rack. It was a great help to abandon some of that shit. They stole my money and the least I could do is leave them with chores. And if someone comes along and gets that stuff, great, it doesn't become landfill material.

Perhaps the (well-off) evicted tenant feels that way about their trumpet. It's shiny and nice, but they can't play it, so fuck it.
