ahhh i just texted my friend. his dad threw it out. otherwise i woulda.

just out of curiosity what interest do you have in it?

price for steel is way down, we used to get almost 100 for a used cat in the begining of the year, now im lucky if i get 20 for them....

ive always wanted one but never really found a place to buy one. just one to bring to the beach and stuff for kicks lmao

WHEN i worked for the town i made lots of extra$$$$ on stuff i took home. computers and laptops were a big hit. even found cash once and a while, jewelry was popular too

Don't get me wrong I know that some people throw out good things, but outside of a scrap man who collects this stuff in a huge truck what purpose do bent metal poles serve anyone? LOL I mean the frigging fence had bushes and tree limbs growing through it for christ sake.

If I have something usable but I don't want and think it's too much of a hassel to sell even at a yard sale I'll put it on free cycle or in front of house with a take me I work sign.

As for the comment about your garbage is up for grabs if it's on the curb that isn't true. Until the garbage men come and take it away it technically is still yours people have no right to go through it. If I'm not mistaken I heard of a crime where the evidence was thrown away and the cops looked through the garbage without a warrant and the evidence was dismissed on a technicality.

Can you back that up?

Cali vs Greenwood. But it proved the exact opposite.

Thanks, If it was illegal I don't think there'd be people running around making a livelihood off it ;)

Playing devil's advocate here, but people make a living off selling illegal drugs :nod:. Just because it's illegal doesn't mean people won't do it.

yes, but is there not a govt program to combat those sorts of people? :-P
and while you might say "but that would be a waste of money" there are people who feel the same about the war on drugs.

So does this mean I beat you in trivia... Again? :mrgreen:

for knowing the case? Sure. But can you tell me the name of the cat from the Smurfs without looking it up? :lol:

Azreal. Suck it.

See, if it was trivia I'd win.. It's Azrael :moon:

LOL

Not true. It's corrected spelling before Ryan. Although you'd win in trivia anyway because it cheats :P

shhh.. and according to trivia you can leave out the word the in your answers.
a=e
m=n
all sorts of stuff but it's temperamental so you could say it would/wouldn't but who knows..

That doesn't help your point?
Assuming you're talking about case 2. The evidence was refused under different circumstances..
I.) they didn't wait for it to be put on the curb.
II.) they followed a tip like 5 months later

like i said, on the curb is public property. its called garbology.

my curb is a public parking lot... that doesnt make sense huh? well neither does anythign i say verbally right at this moment

Actually in most places you dont actually own about 20 feet of your property from the curb. Hence the reason people are allowed to walk on a sidewalk on your property and the reason you are forced to maintain the sidewalk on your property. Something along those lines anyway, in Hillsborough they widened the road I used to live on and my grandparents couldnt do anything about it

yes exactly i couldn't agree more which is exactly why crap on the curb is everyone's crap.

at every job ive worked at we had scrappers come and pick up all the metal we threw out back...radiators....supports...doors...whatever have you....just think...those poles were just a score for them on the way to pick up a boatload of metal at those types of shops that are just happy to get rid of the garbage for free.


they make some good bucks.



and gas is cheap now
