Second time someone took my picture tubes

I second the motion...dumb asses.

That's funny.
It was funny too when I started noticeing other scrappers' activity first times.
I can tell if they're sloppy or good. Sometimes maybe they're walking or bicycling is all.

Don't forget to get the transformer thing with the red (usually) cable going in.
My yard pays "electric motor" price for those.
Usually there's a little aluminum too although it's a pain to unscrew the philips screws...good to save a bunch for rainy days.

I've also found to beat the ceramic rings with the claw side of a claw-hammer in a gravel parking lot works fastest for removing the copper. (pick up the plastic after, leave the ceramic in the gravel)
(...Gotta go, just online to post some CL ads for stuff I'd rather sell than scrap)

DumbD: That 'ceramic', I believe, is actually ferrite (correct me if I'm wrong, someone?). I learned that on these threads - a magnet sticks to it and we put it in our light iron pile.

DD, I used to take those off and put them in my motors/transformer pile but was told that they cant do anything with them - too much plastic. so now I just toss them in with my steel!
