Umm... What is a "stooping treasure?" Is it just someone else's garbage? Like dumpster diving? What even is a "stooping" in this case? Is it a noun or a verb? As far as I know it just means to bend over, or lower yourself (as to a standard.) So, is it like lowering yourself to take someone's trash and put it in your house?

Kristopher,
You kind of got the idea.... people put functional stuff outside in front of their homes or on the sidewalk.... (Instead of trying to sell it or drive it to a dump/second hand store and so on...)
People that grab them are stooping.
Stoop
A small porch, platform, or staircase leading to the entrance of a house or building.
comes from dutch, so stooping is probably a NYC name for the activity.

Kristopher,
a lot of that "garbage" as you call it looks like original "Mid Century Modern" furniture #13 in that shape and steamed clean will easily cost $600 to $700 in an antique/vintage store. i've picked up a few pieces off the curb and refinished them, my living room is all Mod Century Modern that I've gotten off the curb and have gotten lots of compliments on the room

I'm fine with turning someone else's trash into my treasure but I would never take anything upholstered or anything fabric that couldn't be run through a washing machine. You never know what happened to it or what's living in it...

Christa,
That was my exact thought, especially with couches. There's a good chance someone had sloppy sex on it.

Edie,
I don't mind my own sloppy sex. I mind the residue from other people's sloppy sex.

Despite the naysayers, each is a valid treasure to someone.

And to think, in California all we have is Homeless Camps outside your apartment.
