If you're going to leave stuff out on a "please take me basis" I'd remove all serial numbers and identifying marks. Don't leave it in a box with your address on either.

Why? Well if the item subsequently gets fly tipped and is traced back to you, you'll face a fine for "failing in your duty to control waste under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

This is not a scare story it's actually happened in Norfolk.
