The news article doesn't tell us the layout of the road or the rights of the individuals. I was trying to make a more general point without necessarily commenting on this case.
I don't know about this case, but I do very regularly witness issues that arise when people have a misinformed or misguided view of their rights and territory and how others should behave.

I agree that people are very territorial about the pavement and road that fronts their property, even though in most streets it is a public space.

I have also tried to leave stuff out before which was never picked up.
Haven't tried again since.

In Glasgow if you leave anything decent outside your house - it will disappear sharpish though, such as furniture, fridge freezer, old cooker... I know people who have "acquired" all of those things from local streets

Indeed they are - the career FIs amongst us found this out some years ago . We also learned to double up the bags sometimes
