Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
According to Grand Ayatollah Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sistani:
If there are clear indications that the owners have abandoned the items and are not interested in them because they are broken or unusable, then taking them is not prohibited. As long as your actions are not intended to assist in something unlawful, there is no issue with helping him with the repairs, and taking wires that you are sure the owners would consent to give.
May you be successful in all good.
