He told them he wasn't ordering anything, then he said nothing more and they gave him the food.

I guess it's fraud maybe, he obtained something by deception?

Surely they'll have his reg on CCTV, thats assuming they figure out how they c0ck3d up and report a crime though.

For example, material discarded in a rubbish bin is not abandoned. The owner intends another to come, empty the bin and dispose of the property without stealing it in the process. Hence, it will be theft to remove any property from a bin or legal disposal site."

Nicked from Wikipedia. As for the video, no question about it. Straightforward deception.

Theft by finding?

To avoid "theft by finding" you would need to show that you either made all reasonable enquiries to establish who the owner was, or that any such enquiries were impracticable (like standing in the middle of the High street and shouting "has anybody dropped this tenner...)

It's usually fairly obvious who a bin belongs to, as it is that the McDonalds belongs to the car behind you!
