BE careful what you pilfer from your neighbour's throw-out pile.

A man has been arrested after taking a vacuum from a pile of hard rubbish in Melbourne's outer east.

Mooroolbark police interviewed the 58-year-old Lilydale man early this morning.

He is expected to be charged on summons.

It's understood he took a vacuum from a nature strip in Chirnside Park.

A police spokesman said hard rubbish became council property once it was put on a nature strip.
