 MR2Junkie Member 'Cunning Linguist' Level 21 Posts: 1,709 Submissions: 74  | Might sound strange, but does anyone else on here go "hunting" on garbage night? I've found some shit on garbage night that I can't believe that people would throw out. Just a small list -2 12" Pioneer Subwoofers in a fiberboard box, that worked fine -An old Nakamichi home cd player (still worked) -A set of B&W speakers (listening to them as we speak) -An older Toshiba Satellite notebook PC (good for all my old skool PC games) -An oak wood cd rack -Various PS2 and Xbox games, and even some good metal cds. I'm sure that there are other things that I'm forgetting, but the point is that there are plenty of perfectly functioning, usable items out there that can be had at a great price  |

MR2Junkie Member 'Cunning Linguist' Level 21 Posts: 1,709 Submissions: 74 | Out by me, it's suburban but not completely rural, to give you a rough idea. Are you more rural? I can't believe that the people I find throwing this stuff out don't just put it on Ebay or Craigslist, but I'm certainly not complaining. |

Coopz Member 'Penis Size: Massive' Level 35 Posts: 2,398 Submissions: 113 | I live in a kinda small town, but for 1, everyone around here is too stingy to throw out anything decent, and secondly everyone is nosy as fuck and you couldn't snoop around someones garbage without someone seeing you and telling everyone. |

MR2Junkie Member 'Cunning Linguist' Level 21 Posts: 1,709 Submissions: 74 | Even when I throw out stuff that I don't have a use for, I still try and be mindful of my fellow curb shoppers out there, and will put it in plain sight separate from my other garbage. My friend chad and I once found a six pack of bud light in the garbage, unopened. Him and I came to the conclusion that the guys wife got pissed at him and threw it out on him. |

 Toasty SysOp Level 40 Posts: 7,388 Submissions: 227 | ^Lol. I do this shit all the time, as if it is no surprise. Sadly, I read somewhere that Illinois wants to make throwing out electronics illegal by 2012 -- I guess to curb the waste. They will be setting up "collection centers". Fucking stupid, I built so much shit out of garbage I nabbed...Including most of my older computers. PS I feel like screaming "Penis" into the worlds intercom. |

| DarkestAngel Removed Account | Very few places you can curb shop here. Idiots are quick to call the police and police are quick to nail you. Unless its the police going thru your trash, then its perfectly legal. |

Coopz Member 'Penis Size: Massive' Level 35 Posts: 2,398 Submissions: 113 | Quote: since when is is crime to curb shop? the moment anything goes in the trash its public domainNot the case here. I used to work in a supermarket and this one time the police got called in because this poor guy was going through the big bins out back taking the wasted, out of date, or badly damaged food that had been thrown out. It was fucking ridiculous that they called the police on him. it's unwanted junk that's been thrown out, who cares if someone is taking it?! Especially when it would be the only food he could get. (Still fucking gross though, lol) |

MR2Junkie Member 'Cunning Linguist' Level 21 Posts: 1,709 Submissions: 74 | I could see if it were a bank dumpster, but calling the police on a homeless guy or someone just looking for some unwanted items is absurd. |
