My husband brought our neighbor's trashcan to the curb, without the neighbor knowing. Weird?

Well, I think he was acting neighborly.

However, I would not have done it (unless they had said to him in another conversation "Hey, feel free to grab our bins") simply because it's their bin (and refuse) and maybe they were holding onto it.

Also, I would not tell my husband that his action was weird.

And, not that you asked, I would indeed move the bin back to their storage spot after pickup.

OP here
Yes, he did.
I don't think they were home during the whole day-but I've noticed they do have cameras. I wonder if they will check them when they go to put more trash in the bin and notice everything from earlier is gone?

No, it's weird. What if they hadn't finished gathering their trash? I normally do it early morning of.

Then they could take the bag to the can on the curb? This isn’t hard. Can you not think?

It isn’t GONE it’s at the curb. Easily locatable and probably within sight.

It’s weird. I usually leave the garbage can out by the garage at night and then after the morning rush, I take out the trash, then take the can to the curb so that I don’t have to open the garage in the morning. I would be perplexed if my neighbor had taken it to the curb before I had finished getting all my trash out.

I am sure we can beat that out of him.

But you don't know who moved it. It could have been terrorists.

It’s weird, sorry.

It’s weird although clearly derived from a kind impulse.

This reminds me of my husband who used to pick up other people’s babies. He loved babies and babies loved him, but you can’t go around picking up other people’s kids!

I can see he meant well but I would be weirded out if I were the neighbor- maybe they hadn't fully loaded it to put out yet for example.

Not the same thing.
