Last week it was a Sears 3/8" rachet that had become imbedded face down in a tar joint strip between the concrete and blacktop at an intersection.
Friday someone threw out a mountain bike that is missing the inner tubes and the front derailleur is broken. When i get done with it I'll sell it for 25 bucks.
When people wonder why I pick up stuff like this, I ask them: If they saw a twenty dollar bill on the ground, would they pick it up?
