    Well I found a way to use the theft as insight for public relations & renewing trust. .
    Recently (month and half ago ) a dumpster that delivered great metals from a utility type company , had the owner say to me we have thieves stealing from us
    I can't have any one coming in my work areas ANY MORE !
    I did my best to express all my rules as to honest collecting - never a metal only containers & yada yada . It was no use the owner was firm about it .
    For a month I kept thinking what should i say or rite him to renew trust in a scrapper (honest one)

    As the shock of my situation melted into my reality . I said to my self - I AM NO THIEF ! I need not be meek cause others steal .
    This morning with a full load of mix in truck bed , I ask the owner could he hear me out for a few min. I told him of all the stuff i had taken from me .I am just not those type of people . I said look at my truck load Thats scrap the hard way those other type want it easy .They are sneaky and take a little at a time.
    I said can I please take a look a few times a week, in your mix trash during business hours.
    He said if what you do keeps it out of the land fill then during business hours is fine.

    Home run .

    I have been having some really good days lately and next week looks very promising as a plumber has a boiler for me .
    As I was loading my truck to day in mile high mode I said those thief scrappers are annoying and cause a set back still they can't keep up with real passion of a down and dirty scrapper. I can find free and they can only take what is not theres.
    They are modern day horse thieves & should be hung.
    Any one can make a mistake that seems like a theft , real theft is a selfish way to make money that could destroy the finance of another human .
