The Hustle ??

I was doing my thing a few days a go pulling out of a parking lot and I am approached by a individual
I was not really in the mood but OK I roll down window and he says Your a scrapper RIGHT ? Kinda obvious from whats in the truck .
YES I say .
He goes there is a boiler in the back yard at 132 main land RD
he says I have no ability to take it to yard .
Well he lingers a bit and I say if it's there and I can make a few bucks I'll catch you around town with a few bucks OK
He says sure .
For the life of me that house can't be found at that address Fact is it's the only house number not there
I think he was trying to Hustle me for a few bucks

In nashville the homeless could always point me in the direction of dumpsters full of scrap.....They had no way to haul it so I would throw them a few bucks if they led me to the scrap!!

Mine was a wild goose chase .
My truck I see is not measured in MPG it's time in use
45 min of looking for a bogus address is a decent waste of fuel.

agreed....just saying some people are actually running a legitimate hustle.......You have to weed out the bogus ones but I'm not telling you anything you don't know

Most people on the street have been legitimate with the tips.

I've had guys come up to me and say, Hay I have a bunch of steel but have no way to get it to the scrap yard. If you will help me haul it to the yard I'll give you half the money. I stay as far away from these guys as I can. I don't know where the steel came from and it's my tag and ID that the yard has on file. So be very carefull with people like this.
