OPINION

KIRSCH, Chief Judge.

George Membres III appeals the trial court's order, finding that the seizure of his property was done pursuant to a lawful search, and therefore, the property was subject to be turned over to federal authorities. He raises two issues, of which we find one dispositive: whether the police had articulable, individualized suspicion of criminal activity prior to searching Membres' trash.

We reverse and remand.
