ETA: And bet I am the only person on the forum that ever got handcuffed and read his rights for picking up construction scraps at the curb to take home on his way from work to feed that stove.![]()
Bart, now that's a funny story. You couldn't convince the cop how stupid this arrest is? How far did it go?
Talked him into calling the builder who told him it was trash that he had to pay to have hauled. He said I was welcome to come by and get any I wanted. Told him after this I would pass. The cop couldn't assume that it was trash. Just doing his job. Seems there had been a lot of thefts from their construction sites and I happened to stop by. In a suit and handcuffs makes for a funny memory. But only many years later.
Be careful out there scrounging folks.
