A friend of mine spent a sweaty half hour cramming a bike into her small car, to take it to Salvation Army to donate. Someone broke the car window to get in, in order to steal the bike.

Oh, god, that's ... hilariously terrible.

naiad1's sister recently cleaned out her apartment and put a bunch of furniture out by the curb with a sign saying "Free! Help Yourself". After a few days went by and nothing disappeared, she put $20 pricetags on everything. It was gone the next morning.

Now *that* is hilariously terrible. Although I know people who don't take free stuff because they figure there's a good chance that it's not there with the owner's permission (pissed off boyfriend, pissed off roommate, legit but evil landlord, etc).
