    Also there always seemed to be some kind of drama going on there. It wasn't unusual to see local news crews and or police there.
    Exactly!! The same way the yard that was my main yard is. Lots of walk in's. While I stand in line with totes and buckets of alum, copper, brass, wire ect. waiting for people with a grocery bag of non cruched cans and 2 tv cords and plastic they think is brass or alum. Then while waiting, someone can grab a hand full of your stuff if you dont pay attention. Never happened to me, But the yard i now sell non ferrous to is a old warehouse that have loading docks. Back right up to the dock, dont have to carry stuff to the scale, everything stays in the truck bed untill its time to sell
