If I find something on the side of the road, am I allowed to take it? I mean far from the road like nearly in a ditch that 50 ft from the road? Full story after jump. And yes, the pic is related!

So today we had a field trip! We were going to see a play on Thurgood Marshall (the play was quite good honestly) and that meant we would go on the highway. Driving down Route 681 (its an extension that leads onto I-75) you see a lot of farmland. There is obviously a fence to keep cattle from becoming served on the wrong type of grille.

Anyway, as we are going, I see something laying in the grass near the fence. It looked like the grille of an old 70s Ford Bronco (see, I told you the pic was relevant!). It was somewhat rusty but it looked so cool. Obviously, since I was on a bus full of kids, I couldn't A) tell the driver to stop immediately and B) Flip out pointing and screaming at it. So, I memorized the spot and it was still there on the way back as well.

My question is can I get it? It wasn't in the fence or near the highway. It was just sitting there. I want it to hang on my walls so badly. The "patina" was amazing. I just don't want to get in trouble for it.

Thanks Oppo!

I would say yes. You would be removing litter and debris that should and will be removed anyway.

Not trying to hijack your post brother but I had a question in the same vein, what's it mean when someone parks a car on the side of the road with a white shirt in the window? Anyone?

go for it, finders keepers laws will protect you from being sued, at worst you'll just have to give it back to the legitimate owner.

Go get it. Maybe the rest of the car is down there too!
If not, it will make some cool garage art.

The fence doesn't necessarily denote the property line. It could still be on private property

That in reality is my only fear.. but its near the highway so how close could it be?

I guess I can go on Zillow and pull up the property lines...

... unless of course Mr. Losers Weepers happens to be passing by and has his shotgun on his person.

good thing Mr. Losers Weepers is a reasonable man and wouldn't pull a gun on someone for picking up a grille from public land.


Mr. Meth Addict however might not be so forgiving.

last winter a plow truck was plowing the show build up on the shoulder of the highway, and took out at least 6 signs near me. I desperatley wanted to grab a couple.
