    I was figuring that once the contracts been signed or motion has been started, the contractor owns the sink.

    You are right, the house owner offered the sink to the scrapper.
    So the argument between the contractor & scrapper was a wrong thing to do, the contractor should have went to the owner first & then the owner to the scrapper.

    I had to ask 3 different people Tenant - Landlord - 2nd tenant/owner if I could have a microwave I noticed on someones property last week.
    He looked at me, smiled & said "Sure, take it" & shut the door.... Almost comical. I'm glad I asked. Carried it home at 1 am this morning.

    Above was this quote
    {"Also you could be saving there or some ones life by being a good citizen to set in motion correct behavior in public."}
    I'm really impressed with that. I will use it in the future.

    And a mention of a pizza..
    A few years ago, on a TV program, they followed a few court cases, one was a pizza owner who told someone to leave his shop, he indicated towards him using a knife that was in his hand at the time.
    He got charged & found guilty of assault, simply because he branded a knife while telling the guy to leave.



    I think we all live on a very thin line of lawfulness & unlawfulness. A 'thin blue line' is what the Cops call it.
    We can get done for assault for just pointing at a Cop with a finger, while using 'gruff'(?) body language or words.
    Education for us all. We should get taught this at school.

    Thanks for the thread too.
