Question
Hello Rabbi, What is the ruling if someone buys one bottle from a vending machine and two come out, and they do not wish to pay for the extra one? Can they leave the second bottle in the machine in a way that it will surely be taken? Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello and blessings
The bottle belongs to the owner of the machine.
If the seller left information on the machine, you should take it with you and report it to the seller. Tell him to come and take the bottle from you.
If no information was left, it is considered ownerless, and you may take it.
