Aibu about this strange woman

A woman frequently walks around, and if she spots anything left outside someone's house that's clearly meant to be free, she takes a picture and posts it on Facebook to "advertise" it. Several of us have already asked her to please stop doing this, but she hasn't. What do we do?!

I shouldn't have to, this is psychopath behaviour surely.

Again, yes we do, not often but I don't want my address posted on Facebook?!

Stop leaving stuff outside?

How often are people putting stuff outside to give away? It's something I see occasionally but not regularly. It's a strange thing for her to do but I can't really see the problem, surely the people doing it want the item gone ASAP?

I've tried to physically block her she actually leant round me and took the picture and dashed away ignoring my shouts to delete it.

She's posting our addresses. It's one thing to put it outside for random passers by it's another to have someone sharing our addresses on Facebook? She takes a full picture (sometimes stepping into the road to get the whole house and garden in) and writes the exact address on public posts.

So she's alerting people to the fact there is free stuff in the street? Not sure there is anything you can do tbh other than not put free stuff in the street if it's leading to you being inconvenienced.
