I live in a nice co-op on lower 5th Avenue where the long term residents and I take good care of our building and its surroundings. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of "NYU kids" in our building who are not so inclined. After it rains, some of them put their wet umbrellas on the hallway carpeting outside their front doors. I have seen as many as five wet umbrellas strewn about the hallway after any given storm.
Quite frankly, it's an eyesore. It rained yesterday afternoon, and as of this morning, they still haven't all been removed. Going to management isn't an option; they are completely unresponsive. From this point forward, I am considering picking them up and throwing them away. That would likely put a stop to it, and maybe the kids will get the message that this isn't a college dormitory. What do you think?
Then they will complain about their umbrellas being stolen. If building management is not doing anything about it then neither should you. You are not their mama or papa. Keep on complaining to the building until they send a mass email or post a message on the elevator.

It won't put a stop to it. The kids will just assume their umbrellas were stolen. They will buy new umbrellas and leave them in the exact same place next time it rains.

Dude, you're posting at 6:45 in the morning. They may not even be awake yet and may bring in the umbrellas on their way out to class. Don't be that d-bag neighbor and just chill. Unless it's a tripping hazard, it's not hurting you. And it goes without saying, don't steal and destroy other people's property.
Don't exacerbate a minor issue by stealing someone's property. As others have stated, if it bothers you so much do the right thing and through the right channels. Don't become the umbrella vigilante.

Hate to tell you but unless you are a board member or work for the managing agents your authority ends at the inside of your front door.
