Craigslist

Is it just me every time I see a free ad for scrap metal with no contact number and I go to addrese it is gone. It is just a waste of fuel to answer those ads.

yep! i don't do it.

I agree unless it is right down the street.

always confirm with the person to hold it never goto curb alerts

I hate when you show up at the address and the person had already talked to half dozen peoPle or so.

this is kind of a no brainer isn't it with probably thousands of scrappers including the wanabes in every area of any size. #1 asset in scrapping, common sence. Even if you call first and they swear they will hold it for you, it is, at most, a 50/50 chance it will be gone.
