At what point does a newspaper become up for grabs?
The reason I ask is because on Sunday a newspaper was delivered to either our apartment, our neighbors, or to somebody in the store we live next too. Now, if you have never seen where we live, try to imagine two apartments and a store (as well as a landlord's office in the upper level of the store) sharing one parking lot, with mailboxes along the street. When we did have a Sunday newspaper delivery the paper would always be sitting there near the front of the store, near the mailboxes.
Today is Tuesday and that newspaper was still sitting on the ground, and with the weather the past 72 hours, a little damp. So when I got home from work today I brought it in.
Am I stealing or was that newspaper up for grabs at this point?
