the property was derelict and I'd only picked a handful as I was walking past, so not like I'd gone and filled a tub or anything.
Mainland Europe; if the fruit is in a public space, you pretty much expect it to be picked and eaten. I've got a friend here who had some apple trees and the apples hanging over the footpath weren't being picked. Came home to find some old bloke filling a bag with what he could reach. Considered fair game.

I once got a telling off from the po-po when they saw me picking and eating blackberries that were hanging over a fence onto the street.

I thought they were joking and even offered them some!
