This no fault of theirs is another hey its someone elses fault. The owner of the trash is responsible for the trash and the trash can. We have the problem here on trash day its a mine field. Most residents move the can in after the trash is picked up and the others leave them out all day the wind blows them in the street some times it takes a day or two. My bet if you hit one and it caused damage you could sue the owner for damages as you could for them failing to secure a load in a pick up and something flew off. Too much of this its not my fault PC stuff. If you rob a bank you are guilt its not because you had a bad childhood. And if it is a windy day you sould know you need to bring in your cans after trash pick up not leave them to be blown into the street.
