Greenhouses are a facility
to grow vegetables.

1:06:04
Once the harvest is collected,
1:06:06
there's some left, a few tomatoes,
grapes, carrots or celery.

1:06:10
If gleaners remain within the law
1:06:13
farmers can't say anything,
1:06:15
can't sue them for anything.
1:06:18
Even on their property?
1:06:20
Even then, precisely,
1:06:22
gleaning is always
on private property.

1:06:26
Mr. Dessaud, our lawyer in the fields,
explained gleaning rights.

1:06:31
Mrs. Espie, our lawyer in the streets,
tells us about salvaging rights.

1:06:42
The law on gleaning
doesn't apply to these objects.

1:06:47
'' Res derelictae''
1:06:48
are ownerless things,
1:06:50
since the owner's intention
has been clearly expressed:

1:06:54
they have deliberately
abandoned them.

1:06:58
Only the penal code
deals with their status

1:07:00
and says this property can't be
stolen since it has no owner.

1:07:05
Those who take the object
become its legal owners.

1:07:10
This acquisition is unusual,
since it comes from no one.

1:07:15
Once taken,
the object belongs to them

1:07:18
irrevocably.
1:07:20
Thank you very much.
1:07:22
You're welcome.
1:07:23
Yeah. Sidelined beds on the sidewalk
1:07:26
Washed-out machines,
tired-out fridges

1:07:29
just bend down
and grab your furniture

1:07:32
Yeah. Cookers,
cushions, club armchairs

1:07:35
Weary wood chairs and TVsets,
Worn-out couches

1:07:39
just bend over,you're made over
1:07:42
Street rehab and TVrap,yeah,yeah!
1:07:45
Broken TVs
1:07:51
I've seen lots ofTVs abandoned,
1:07:53
and within a few minutes
1:07:57
somebody was taking out the copper.
