    The smash an grabbers as I call them tend to fall into two categories in my experience...

    1. Lazy.

    2. Drug addicts, usually Meth or pills.

    I suppose I could make a 3rd.

    3. Don't care, an are just jerks.

    If you do breakdown things at the curb, then clean it up, seems you do that Mr.Downtown. So I can't really get mad at you, at lest you pick up your mess, and make sure it's all picked up an placed so it's not an eyesore, hazard, etc. Lots of people won't do that.



    When I first got started I did a lot of curb shopping. I'd find piles of crap sitting on curbs, an of course I'd dig through it for all that lovely metal. I always left it looking better then it was when I got there tho, not matter what I had to dig out, I didn't leave a huge pile of mess sitting about to piss of the homeowner. These same people now stop me or hold things for me if they see me coming through because they know I won't leave their curb looking like a dump.

    YMMV.
