I don't know if it's legal or not, although it's taking items out of Goodwill's carts which might be relevant...
As to how to stop it, I'd say that if Goodwill took it's carts in when it closed, (or didn't have someone watching the carts) then people wouldn't donate when no one was around, so there wouldn't be stuff to take...
When I was donating stuff from the yard sale, the guy had to yell at a couple of women who were looking through the one of the carts...
I agree that it's bad... especially since they could just buy it from the goodwill inside for really cheap. Not as cheap as for free, but still.
