    While a big part of me is interested in others' answers to your question, there is another big part of me that hopes no one answers the question. Part of my "customer service" is to keep my clients anonymous. I try not to share who they are for many reasons, not the least of which is their privacy. Don't mean to pee in your cornflakes...like I said, a big part of me is interested, but...

    I most definitely understand. I too have mixed feelings on the subject. Your opinion is justified. We love to boast about our unique experiences; well some do lol. No pressure. Only post what feels comfortable. See I didn't spill my beans. Although my pot is hot. And yes.....I'm still cooking now

    Ps. SWEEEEEET !

    I agree with mudlucky. My "real" job takes me into areas where many rich & famous folks live... Mark Cuban, Ross Perot, T Boone Pickens, Don Henley... just to name a few. I may or may not have gotten scrap or CurbCo from any or all or none of the above or their neighbors... but there's no need to hash out what I might've gotten or from whom.

    Let's just say that it must be nice to have WAAAAYYYY more dollars than sense!!

    Scored a scrap steel hauling gig from a special effects company that has worked on many "mainstream" movies. It was an unlabelled building so i never knew what it was, just that they were throwing out cool crap once in a while.

    I noticed they looked to be moving recently and saw them outside working one day so i stopped to ask for Dumpster Dive permission, mostly just to introduce myself. I left a business card and received a call back a couple weeks later with an offer to "just pick up and get rid of" a couple tons of steel. The job entailed bringing trailer, loading steel in trailer, driving directly to yard, unload, get paid, repeat.

    That deal was mutually beneficial to say the least!

    I once served Jim Palmer a sambuca neat while bar tending in Baltimore . It was nice to meet him and shake that mans hand . I had a few others that I had the pleasure of making drinks . Method man , Stacy keibler , the late Orlando brown , Bennie Anderson , Sheila Dixon . Mike Rowe from dirty jobs by far was the most entertaining . Great guy . A little off topic but that's as far as my celebrity connections go . Never asked for autos or anything like that . I was just glad to share a conversation and make them a cocktail.

    The rich and famous are for the most part, are like you and me. They want privacy and for darn sure don't want nobody talking trash about their or our "TRASH".

    In 1977 I was standing gate guard duty at the main gate of Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Ca.(a little north of San Diego, Ca).

    One day one of the other Marines stopped a very cool Rolls Royce and had to tell the driver to make a u turn and leave the base(not an uncommon mistake made by people getting on and off the Highway 5). That Marine came over to me and said "That was Lucille Ball in the back seat of that Rolls". Well I guess that was a close encounter. Mike
