1. “"On the day that defendants' garbage was usually picked up, the police parked down the street to observe Republic's collection of defendants' trash. The police arrived at 7:00 a.m. and noticed that defendants' garbage cart had already been placed by the sidewalk. On that morning, a manager for Republic drove to defendants' residence in a white pickup truck ahead of the larger mechanical sanitation truck that would normally collect defendants' garbage. The manager arrived outside defendants' residence around 8:00 or 9:00 a.m. The manager timed his drive to make sure that he showed up before the company's larger mechanical truck emptied the cart. The manager grabbed defendants' cart and placed it in his company pickup truck. The manager then provided defendants with an empty replacement cart from the back of his truck."”
