Creepy

My town has a twice a year 'junk week' (Spring and Fall) Basically what it is is that the town comes around on your scheduled garage day (Tuesdays for us) and will pick up large pieces of junk that it normally doesn't pick up any other week of garage day. (couches, dressers, carpet, broken bar stools, etc, etc, etc) We are allowed to set out junk the weekend before (today and yesterday)....so we did. We had an old entertainment center (that was actually left in the house when we bought it) that we had in our basement that we have been using as shelves basically, some cardboard boxes, really old clothes that a thift store wouldn't want,etc etc.

Well the funny thing is, the weekend before junk week and all through out junk week...junk people drive around in rusty pick-up trucks and sift through your garbage and look for things they want before the city trucks come and pick it up.

It is actually really funny to see what they take and what they all ready have in their trucks.

We ripped out a really old shower surround in our basement that we never use and it was kinda gross and set it out there.

Well I just looked out the window and there were these two people out there hammering away at it at the end of my driveway. They took the chrome covered plastic off of the shower door and drove off with it. Why? It is not aluminum or copper (which is worth ALOT) They always have the strangest things in the back of their rusty pickups? It is really fun to watch them.
