Just saw another Scrapper getting Pinched on my way to the yard!

Ok, this is not an "I told ya so" thread in any way, shape or form. But it is a great reminder to anyone out there who thinks making a quick buck by being dishonest and stealing their scrap is a better alternative to doing it the correct, honest, and legit way.



I'm on my way to the yard this morning, on my way I see someone pulled over, as I approach I see it is a scrapper with a truck and utility trailer attached. The truck bed is loaded with scrap, the trailer has on it a washer, a dryer and looks like boxes of older electronics- maybe microwaves and other things. As we drive by there are two city police officers, driver is still in the truck, the police are out of their cars combing the trailer, cameras out- taking pictures of everything.

We continue on our way and do our drop-off, on the way back, a county sheriff has now pulled up and are having discussions with the city officers as well as I see a lot of pointing to things on the trailer. On our way back the scrapper (still in the truck) has his arm behind his head with the "This isn't going to end well for me" look on his face.

So in a nutshell- if ya don't run clean.. the cops will catch you!
