My neighbors have an apple tree in their front lawn by the street. Every year they let all the apples ripen and fall off, never picking any. I always think it’s such a fucking waste. I’m thinking of sneaking over one night and picking it clean just so the apples don’t wind up all over the ground and street but imagine there would be some legal issues if I got caught. I live in PA so I won’t get shot, but still don’t feel like picking up any more charges. I’m already on the cops radar for drug related things so I imagine they’d have a field day. Anybody else have experience doing similar things?

Troll? PA is huge on guns. A ccp is literally you go in pay a guy 20 bucks and your back out in 5 minutes it's easier than going to the bank.
Also just ask the guy. My neighbor (Kenney square PA) provides lots of mushrooms for me

That might be the law in Pennsylvania but it isn't that way everywhere. In some places it only matters who owns the tree is the owner of the fruit from the tree.

This. You could also plant some trees of your own. They don't take a lot of money, time, or energy to get going. And they start producing after 3 years or so depending on the fruit. You can also prune them to keep them manageable in size.

those critters already exist and are running around your yard when you don't look, the only difference is that you're providing food for nature.

I guess that's mostly true but I've got a neighbor buddy who has pulled guns on people in his yard including a police officer. Not shot anyone cause he's not actually that trigger happy but point is, be careful trespassing at night in pa. During the day only crazy people give a fuck though.

obviously they exist but guess where they build their nests? by places with easy access to food. usually that means sheds sometimes attics. raccoons are nigger and will make holes in roofs. I would unironically be pissed if some lazy faggot of a neighbor left a bunch of food laying around to summon vermin and did it regularly so they could plan around it. Also these months are usually the breeding season so it's even worse

sure or let's say a hundred plus apples on the ground. they eat that too. Also securing your garbage is a very easy thing to do. Either put a rock on it or use a lock if it's a problem. And since raccoons have very sensitive noses just leave epsom salt and tennis balls soaked with ammonia around. They'll shy away if your house is well lit as well.

Do city people just let these fucking nigger animals do whatever they want and not take any preventative actions? Like what kind of cuck would just think oh the fruit is part of nature's cycle so let the little faggot eat up and breed as much as they want is a rational thing to do lmfao

Someone in my old neighborhood used to steal figs from my trees and also pick my strawberries near the road. I confronted them several times, once with video evidence, and they first denied it then told me to go fuck myself. I knew they didn't have video surveillance so I waited almost a year until they went on vacation and I dumped 40 lbs of salt in their precious rhododendron garden. I would either pretend to knock on their door and throw pocketfuls of salt or walk my dog at night and dump salt hidden in dog shit bags. Their rhododendrons all died within a couple months. After trying to resod and replant they just spread riverstone and put potted plants kek

OP I recommend not fucking with another man’s fruit trees or garden.

That's pretty based. It's really not hard to ask someone for permission, and if they say no, just don't do it. Not complicated.

Unless they get pissed because you just called them lazy faggots for wasting apples then they yell at you and tell you to fuck off and for the rest of the time you live there they have their dog take huge shits on your lawn and eventually find an excuse to shoot you.
