He can ' t access your balcony either so if he causes his property to become lost , that is exactly what it is , lost property and he is sol . There are nuances and exceptions but assuming common law applies I would just kick the CD off your balcony and call it a day . If he asks , you haven ' t seen it .

The question you mean to ask is does he have a legal cause of action against me ? The answer to that is a firm NO .

Edit 3 This is a stupid problem to have . I feel sorry for you bud . Good luck .
