Foraged fruit fermentation feels like a win, but maybe it's theft

My plum wine came out pretty good after some early issues. I grabbed the plums from a park tree without permission. Is it fine to use public fruit for brewing?

Absolutely a win! Public fruit is fair game if it's just going to rot on the ground. My BEST cider came from apples gathered under trees on a college campus. Letting good food go to WASTE is the real crime in my book. It feels more like a public service than theft. Your plum wine turning out good is the perfect proof it was meant to be.

Totally agree, letting fruit rot is wrong.
