Probably not. If the trash was readily accessible to the public, it is
generally considered abandoned. Jurisdictions vary, but it is unlikely
to be a crime. It's along the same reasoning that allows law enforcement
to search your trash without a warrant.


I think you're right, and I think that while Neal (or Cecil or whomever)
probably deserves most of the crap that's being flung at him lately... I
mean you know I've been the recipient of his sh*t for years... I think that
he should get his journal back. That stuff is supposed to be private. I'm
certainly not in a live-and-let-live mode with him, but IMHO that crosses
some kind of line. Just because he feels he has to cross it with others, it
doesn't mean those of us who know better should do the same thing in
revenge. It has no real value to anyone but him.
