Storage programs are meant to protect people’s property rights and allow them to reclaim their possessions. But they rarely accomplish either objective, according to a ProPublica investigation of cities with the largest homeless populations.

    That’s an interesting way to say ‘steal’.

      It is likely that the people who have their property removed don’t know where they can claim their property or have the means to get there.

        I didn’t think that would change anything. Still sounds like stealing to me.
