Everyone leaves free things on their stoop in Bushwick…
Yep I do it all the time
Because stooping culture. You can’t leave anything outside for a minute. This was irresponsible of them.
Business is Chyelle…tbh it’s crazy to call this theft. Likely a misunderstanding. They should have given her the benefit of the doubt and asked her to return.
Nah everyone knows leaving shit outside like that means it’s UP FOR GRABS!!
