Just got back from the cleaners with my suit Dee and saw IdahoScrappers post...I should have done the one hour express clean. Yeah IdahoScrapper, they were still buried in the yard. They said they would help which is more then what most folks offer.Originally Posted by Dumpster Dee
There was another add earlier for a big box of dead AA batteries...missed that one to.

Wow, quite a response! Haha.
Things went south, WAY south, the day after. Apparently the guy was SUPER angry that i dumped them in his yard. He called the cops, told them. They called me. I explained what happened, sounded like he was taking notes. He asked for my address, that he wanted to talk to me face to face. I'm thinking "great, a simple stupid person is going to land me in jail for some unknown reason". 2 cops show up. They asked me AGAIN what happened. I was EXTREMELY busy tearing down TV's when they showed up. I asked them if we were good, can i please get back to work. They told me that "We might be seeking vandalism charges against you".
Long and short, they got my information again, for the 3rd dang time, told me id be hearing from them soon.
As if i wasnt busy enough, im going to have to fight this *#&$*#*@&#*$&#*@&#*#&@* thing. This is what they call "vandalism". "2, semi deep trenches in his front yard where the grass was moved away because of your anger. This is vandalism. You may have to pay for the damages"
I need a beer.

That's some BS Hoss, guy's lucky he didn't have some trenches in his face. He wants you to pay him cuz he's a lazy, not to mention, dumb a$$. Then whines to the cops!?!?
Hey Hoss, if this lands you in any trouble then I have lost all respect for cops. Not that I have much for them as it is.
That guy sounds like the kind of prick that wouldn't have been happy no matter what you did.
You could have balanced the washer on your head, served the dude his money on a silver platter with one hand and handed him a cold drink with the other and he still would have pi$$ed and moaned.
Hope it turns out for the better. Keep us posted.

Here's one from the computer section of the KC Craigslist.

I'm wondering if maybe he's got some 5.25 inch floppys for sale too....

Well Sunday is usually my day for relaxing copper play. Was sittin out front drinkin a beer unwinding the 85 pounds of windings i have.
Received a phone call from aforementioned jerk. He told me that he is "sorry". That he told the cops to "drop the case". We talked for a minute or 2. He said he understands that life is hard right now. He ended the call with this: "I understand things are hard right now, and i should not be making things harder for the underprivileged. I hope you find Jesus soon, have a great night"
Honestly want to eat this guys face.

Tune this guy out. He has illustrated his level of ignorance and that doesn't need to have any negative effect on you. Don't let a bad apple ruin your master plan.

Well, at least it is over.

As discussed elsewhere in this forum, what comes around goes around, and that guy will get his in the end. At least 5-oh is out of the picture.
Oh wow. He hopes that YOU find Jesus? Where was HIS Jesus attitude when he was whining and threatening with the cops?
These holier than thou types really chap me. Such hypocrites.
I was going to say you can't reason with these types, but at least he dropped it. Something made him come to his senses.
Just brush it off and get to the next gig.

Hoss,
Send him a bill.

I've seen some ridiculous ones. The box part of a box truck was one. The guy who had it wanted 2200 bucks for it, it was mostly wood and tin.
I just tried to look for it but it's gone now, but there was an ad for 6 boat engines a guy found at the bottom of the local lake. He wanted 50 bucks a piece for them for "Parts"... I offered him 5 bucks a piece because most of them are cast aluminum and I figured 2 engines would double my money if cleaned correctly. He told me I was a crook over the phone.
The last one was yesterday. Guy posted an ad for scrap in the barter section. 2000 ft of coaxial cable, 150 universal remotes, and other miscellaneous cable gear. I asked what he wanted in trade, he told me a car. ::facepalm::

Funny... I just brought a stripper pole in to the scrap yard yesterday...was aluminum...I told the guy at the scale what it was, and they set it off to the side....I really don't want to know what they have planned...

I was looking for this thread yesterday. Now I can't find the ad:
In the Free section, someone was giving away 50 cords of firewood. For those unfamiliar with firewood, up here it's worth at least $200 a cord. So someone was giving away $10,000 worth of firewood. Yeah, right.
People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
