    Transformer

    I have an excellent opportunity to swipe a Transformer, its sitting out in the open ready to go , Are they heavy and will i need help . Is there enough copper for bail (my helper will be on his own) & do you think I will be able to dismantle in jail?

    I think maybe they should bump you back to junior member for even thinking about it.

    You won't be able to use the copper for bail if you are caught as the transformer will be evidence.

    No bail, just jail.
    I know lying is wrong, but if the elephant man came in now in a blouse with some make up on, and said, "How do I look?" Would you say, bearing in mind he's depressed and has respiratory problems, would you say, "Go and take that blusher off you mis-shapened elephant tranny?" No. You'd say, "You look nice... John""

    Well i might have a 3 day window to take apart . so I'll inquire with the authority's as to court cost fines loss of time in jail to see if I can turn a profit. still they pay only $2.50 here for CU. If i sell state property to another state do i have to figure more fines ? so 2.50 might be the best I can do.

    your best bet is to take the transformer, go to the police station telling them you took it. then do your jail time. You wont be able to dismantle it in jail, it will be in evidence, so bring a good book. then get yourself a good lawyer to sue the city for something.. like....... entrapment! then have your lawyer sweet talk em into getting the transformer out of evidence and back to you for proper disposal.

    Is it a Decepticon or an Autobot? Don't piss off the Decepticons, they're bad dudes.

    Well , the electric co workers let me hit the dumpsters and i find copper brass and all sorts of odd ball things ,so thats a good thing . I would really know that i went down the other path if i took that trans. ,But sure enough it is just sitting 3 feet from dumpster . has an orange tag on it, & kinda rusty . I am not tempted at all . I see people on ebay sell them so i wonder if state auctions them off at a good price. That would be the final frontier for me to take one of them apart.

    Good choice. Maby someone will steal it and get caught and they will acution it off like Injunjoe said in his "how to buy stolen goods" post.

    Where is it copper. I will bring truck, trailer, and winch. You be the lookout. We split 50/50. You dont even have to cut it up, I will. And you can still have 50% for being the look out...lmao./
