Laundry Etiquette

[marcmagus]

You live in a multi-family house with a single washer and a single dryer in the basement. You need to do laundry, but an unspecified person has left loads in both the washer and the dryer, which have run to completion and are sitting there. They have left a single small laundry bag sitting atop the dryer.

What do you do?

Chris adds that he'd check if the stuff in the dryer was still hot to the touch. If so, he'd wait a bit, but if it's cold, then it's clear they've forgotten or been distracted, and then it's safe to proceede as above :)
