One of the biggest temptations you will find is being able to pass up "opportunities". I've been to many yards where they have good equipment (green circuit boards, for instance), sitting on a pile of scrap metal. I talk to the boss, explain what they are worth, etc. etc. and they just don't want to deal with it. I have to walk away with that visual in my rear view mirror, knowing that there is money being flushed down the toilet. In your case, you were probably correct in all your assumptions, and even made the effort to knock. But at some point you have to just walk away from it before your "find" turns into a nightmare. Its a hard lesson to learn, but better to figure it out on your own instead of in the back of a police cruiser.
