To the people of alameda, laurelhurst, Reed college etc.. When you purchase beauty bark in bulk and have it delivered and deposited onto the street, that means it's free for the taking.
When your pile blocks off two decent parking spots because you are looking to garden in the next month or so, a collective fuck you is summoned and I'm dispatched.
Late night scrappy landscapers (hi there) and anyone else looking to make a buck. It helps when you do nothing about my poaching, even days later. Let that pile get worked!
When it's on your driveway, it's yours, my friend. No touchy, we do have standards.....

It's like leaving a large wad of bills on the curb with a note that says, "yeah, yeah, were gonna garden soon, watch this space"...
