Trash question

[Strike Force XL]

I recently put some cologne in a trash bucket that my room-mate and I share. I had originally put a smaller trash bucket but when he returned from the hospital he said lets put this bigger one there so more trash can fit. Now I didn't mind throwing the cologne away but since then he took it out the trash and uses it now I know this is grimy but by law does that cologne still belong to me since the trash was still in the room even if it was in his bucket. I was under the impression that he contributed the community trash can but that is still my trash. Its probably silly for me to take it away but there is a story behind why I need it back. Do I have the right to take my cologne back legally?

I understand that it could be viewed as abandoned property but My only argument is that it was still in the room

Of course. You should ask for it back immediately.

Judge ruled and is 100% correct Moneyline! Get your cologne back!

Yes ML, this is an absolute travesty.

I need to hear the story as to why you need it back before I make a judgment on the situation

I'm guessing some chick told him she likes that smell of that certain brand. However, i can't believe i just read a thread such as this. wow.

i would say since it was still in the dwelling, then it belongs to you...once it hits the curb, then it is anyone's
