Description
The owners of this building have been regularly stealing our compost bins each week. Each week when ACI brings the bin back to our complex, they come back over and steal it again. They go all the way to the back of our complex (which is located right next door to them), and drag the bin(s) back to their complex behind their building.
Is it legal for your neighbors to walk onto your property and take your compost bins without permission from the owner?
If not, what is the appropriate legal procedure to get them to a.) return the stolen bins and b.) stop stealing them?
I tried calling APD but the clueless dispatcher had no answers. Maybe someone in the city can help? How do we resolve this? Our landlord pays for 2 compost bins on our complex and they keep taking them. We can't even use our own bins.
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Please have the owner on the ACI account to call ACI (510-483-1400) to either deliver new bins, or to retrieve your bins from your neighbor. ACI must also service the bins of your neighbor, so ACI can cross-check the serial numbers on the bins and make sure you have what you need.
