Just a lil tip, 1 day when you have nothing to do take a walk thru a junkyard/auto recyclers or what ever its called in your area. A few days ago I happened to remembering months before I got into refining, I seen an old jeep wagoneer packed with electronics. So with the itch I went there to check it out, well after walking around and the truck not there anymore, I found 4 cell phones (1 nokia and 3 blackberry's) a system that was used for GPS/cellphone cordless link. An old walkie talkie that had a phone pad on it. And I seen an ambulance that was full of circuit boards,cards, wire connectors. Laying on the ground was a few other electronic boards with gold plating on them. Alot of radio's with the gold plated male and female connectors a bunch of computers and a few other computer related items. I was wearing cargo pants and by time I was there for about 2 hours my pockets were full. I plan on making this a regulary once a week trip.

whats it called when you take something thats not yours? borrowing? do you plan on returning any of that?
 
Sorry kids were getting put to bed when I was writing this, I thought I wrote the owner didnt care about the items since they werent of use since I found them laying around on the ground. Some of it was out of burned out vehicles and others were in the ground probably from getting ran over by the big fork lifts they use in junk yards. The items that were of large size I didnt remove since I didnt have tools for removal and I wasnt expecting to even see the things that I did. But then again you dont notice things until your actually looking for them. With the exception of house/car keys or your wallet when your in a hurry.
