    A lot of people where I live must have read that article. They leave the cords on everything, maybe they need to add....cut the cord.

    It's also great when the people separate the metal then just throw it in the shred pile (saw an AC condenser that someone HAD TAKEN APART and thrown into the shred pile, coil and all).

    Ahaha, what a load of dung.

    It's easy, all you need is a magnet and wire strippers!

    Oh man, I see that every time I go to the yard. It pains me to think of all the money wasted.
