people going through the trash

someone goes through my apartment building’s trash can…I suspect freegens (aka. urban scavengers) or something. I know this because once I through away a half-used tube of face wash that was perfectly useable but I didn’t like it (i felt slightly guilty) and later I saw it on the ground, outside of the big trash can. There is no way the face wash could have jumped out of trash bag with the other trash (probably coming from the bathroom, urg) I threw away all by itself. I think I saw some other potentially “useable” things on the ground too close to the face wash. Apparently someone was digging through the trash can and found a tube of useable face wash but probably decided that the face wash didn’t suit their skin type (as it didn’t suit mine), but didn’t want to see it go to waste, so left it on the ground next to the trash can for other freegens to pick at. anyway this is all just what I imagine to have happened, but this incident makes me feel slightly scared about throwing away credit card checks that arrive in the mail either from Bank of America (aka the junk mail bank) or Citibank (aka the bank that denies me credit cards for some unknown reason), even if identity defrauders and freegans seem like distinct sets of people.
