The answer

It is not permissible to take or keep anything without the owner's permission, even if it is something spoiled that can still be used. It must be returned to the owner unless the owner permits it or it is customarily overlooked. This is based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) sayings: "The wealth of a Muslim person is not lawful except with his willing consent," and "The hand is responsible for what it takes until it returns it."
