Ummm... You put your furniture on the curb or your trash, then accuse someone for stealing it? If it's private it shouldn't be on the curb. Anything on the curb is considered public. Clicking a picture of anything on your curb is also considered public. If you wanted to keep it a secret, you should have bought a box and kept it in the locker.

Edit: after few days you realize that the trash on your curb shouldn't have been there. Then you raid the trash company because your brother is a cop.
