I fitted a new oven last week, and left the old one on the driveway intending to take it to the dump on ssturday when Mrs D was about to help me. It didn't last 48 hours.Round here if anything half decent isn't chained to something sturdy then it will go!
My sister was plugging her electric mower into a power socket in the house when she felt a tug on the cable. Roving 'scrappies' were trying to pinch the mower off her lawn.
I spotted a few fridge freezers out on local pavements recently, probably flood-damaged? They didn't stay around long either!I fitted a new oven last week, and left the old one on the driveway intending to take it to the dump on ssturday when Mrs D was about to help me. It didn't last 48 hours.

Difficult one - I think you need to tread carefully to avoid causing offense / giving them an incentive to leave it there.
Safest option IMO would be to casually ask if they'd like a hand getting rid of it.. Making them aware of your reasons might cause resentment that your agenda is encroaching on their "right" to do what they want with their garden (be aware that people can be incredibly irrational and misguided over thier supposed rights relative to petty housing issues). If they're decent folk they might take your suggestion as an indicator that you don't appreciate their crap being there and give them an incentive to move it...
