Would it be weird if I took something my neighbor put out for trash?

They put out this shelf and I want it, but I don't want to seem strange? It would make a nice plant shelf, but it's not something I can scurry away with, so people would see me while I carried it. Is that a bad thing to do?

EDIT: Never mind. Someone beat me to it. 😭

I think that it is weird that you ask us and not your neighbour

If a neighbor asked me I would be happy it's not going into a landfill and offer to help carry it. Or I would tell you about the ancient curse it holds, and why no mortal should possess it.

This is what the internet has done to people.

At least he posted on the right community.
