    I was wondering why and who puts up the hoax adds. What a bunch of sleazebag losers.

    I then went to work all day.

    I got home at 8pm and saw an ad for over 100 lbs of aluminum siding up for grabs about 20 minutes away from my house. I drove there and lo and behold, the siding was still there! I knocked on the door to make sure everything was legit but the house appeared to be unoccupied. I said f*ck it and drove my truck around back and started loading up. About 5 minutes later the neighbor came out and said that the ad was a hoax and that the cops had been chasing people out of the yard all day. So I drove back home defeated for the second time today.

    Gas sure isn't cheap and neither is my time! Ugh what a day.
    Well this is ONE of the reasons I charge for my services. :-)
