(no subject)

In my apt. complex's laundry room, I've noticed there is a stack of LP's that have been sitting in a bag, out on a communal table, for most of a month now. Next to an old TV (knobs!) and what looks to be the second bench seat from a minivan. *scratches head*

So, a general etiquette question... what's the appropriate amount of time to wait before actually ganking a number of those LPs (a Genesis live album from when Gabriel was still with the band! the second Beatles' album in America! Van Halen's first album! This is some great shlock!)? If anyone could advice, I would be most appreciative (and vastly amused, actually).
