    Scrapper from hell!

    So I'm out on trash night and see that there is an air compressor by the road. I ask the guy if he is throwing that away and he says yes. So I load it up and get back in the truck. Just as we were about to leave this woman pulls up in a car with an attitude and says what are you doing with my compressor? Then her friend or husband or whatever pulls in front of us and she is on the side of the truck. They had us blocked from the front! So we just reverse back and go unload it back at my house. Some people are just stupid.

    If it's already in YOUR truck then she was mistaken. Mystery solved.

    I have had this type of thing happen many times over the years. Some scrappers think they own the scrap even when it's still in the dumpster or on the curb. It's the nature of the business.

    I don't know what that lady was talking about, but I'm pretty sure that air compressor is mine.
