Well, I'm not a thief, but this guy was going to make it Christmas for someone who is.
I walked by a truck tonight parked close to a bar and the back was full of wire. Romex, that thick black multi-strand wire and others. I'm guessing the guy was an electrician and that he was having a few after a long work day. I thought about trying to find him and ask him what he planned to do with it. But I didn't even the cash to buy him a drink if he had said that I could take it, so I went on by. And I thought , if he's keeping all those smaller pieces he probably means to scrap it himself. Things have been very lean lately. So bad that,in fact, I had to keep reminding myself that I don't take other people's property!
Must have been good karma because as soon as I got home I found out that I have a research gig that will bring in far more than the wire would have anyway!
