Discarded Items

In the area where I live, there is a small industrial zone where at the beginning of the street there is a charity organization (renting gas balloons, food baskets, etc.), further down is a genizah, and at the end, a second-hand store where anyone who doesn't need clothes can leave them in the open area, and they do with them as they please. Sometimes people leave clothes and items near the charity organization, even though there are clear signs not to leave anything or clothes. On Wednesday, I walked in this area and saw a lot of discarded clothes near the charity organization, even though there are several signs not to leave things, and they have been lying there in disgrace for some time. I saw shoes thrown in a bag and in the genizah further down, a bag with pants and vests (which are still there), and I took some of them. Then I thought about whether I did the right thing because it seems that people left it there out of carelessness. The question is whether I need to return it to the second-hand store (it should be noted that the clothes are still in the same place, and the second-hand store does not bother to go and take the clothes from there).

Hello,

You may take them for yourself.

Since the items have been there for a long time, the owners have certainly given up on them.
