    Faking me OUT Scrapper

    Situation Sunday : I get some fuel and I see a Dumpster at a bank Mostly all cardboard looking stuff
    but I take a look . Well I found wire & Copper is always good -
    just a few pounds But a few pounds little by little
    makes for a 50 pound day .
    Any way a Guy of 19 years or so pulls up in a pick up
    an OK truck but a touch raunchy.

    He says to me
    "What kinda work you guys doing at the bank ? "
    I say not sure what there doing I'm just scrapping a bit
    I can see he is looking at the hand full of wire i'm holding
    He then says hey scrapping not aloud here , YOU HAVE TO PUT IT BACK !!
    I said wait a min . what kinda question did you just ask me ?
    I said Who are you ?

    He says " this is my crew - ( like he is the demo workers )
    so put it back "

    I said look i'm holding at best $ 3.00 in wire
    look at my truck . I got 4 kids . I scrap & need money for my family
    I'm hurting no body .



    He looks at me and says alright it's OK .

    I think he was trying to fake me out and get my find But after my story of reality
    he realized his story was taking on a little to much humanity for him.

    I took the guy at his word but feel he was gaming me
    any way
    I got the wire but this is the first time had such an odd thing occur.

    Copper Head and CopperHeadAKA (same person)
    I am back to my skill set from the 80's Painting & all that follows it
    I removed myself from the trash company I worked for as of 2 years ago
    I find scrap non the less
