> There are stories about stores/restaurants calling cops when they catch you "stealing" "their" food from a dumpster

Can be it be "stolen" if it's in a trashcan meaning it's no longer someone property?

While I agree with you, it's pretty easy to claim ownership of an item from your store that you put into your trashcan on your property that you then hire someone to come get.
