    damage is done

    I can feel the change of tude in people I tried a little picking today and I see a different temperament in people, a lack of trust , dirty looks ,
    It’s really sad for flood victims first , But today I was in a area with no flood issues .
    I feel people are reading the news paper sensations, that people were putting there items to dry in the sun , then people acting like scrapers (in a sense) would take there stuff
    The cops who are used to seeing pick ups with items in it now will stop scrapers JUST BECAUSE. Home owners hearing the theft stories see all scrapers now in a non trusting light
    For the first time I encountered resistance I saw a nice pile of short and other goodies worth about $20 It was at the curb for sure well the guy sees me and says don’t take it I said I understand but I was hoping to buy it from you ..For the good will of the situation I offerd him .08 per pound.. For creating goodwill,.02 profit was ok with me
    He just snidely looked at me and said NO .
    All I can say is (sarcastic) thanks to the posers for damaging the scrap life stile.
