I got one even better-

When I was moving, I brought some of my furniture down to the sidewalk so that when my buddy returned with the moving truck, we could load up quickly and easily.

Everything was neatly stacked and ready to be loaded into the truck. I guess with my bed frames, metal base end tables, brass sculptures, wire rack shelving and a few other items of interest, some guy came over to the stack and started picking through my stuff. I say, "HEY! That's my stuff! What are you doing?!"

The guy says, "Hey man.. I don't want any trouble. You can have everything on that side of the pile if you let me pick from this side of the pile."
