Not sure what to do

Is it stolen? I don't know, you should know about the source of all scrap metal before you take possession (possession of anything), selling stolen property is no different than stealing it in my thought process. Do what you want, everything comes out of the wash eventually somewhat clean. Dirty laundry stinks in my way of life, others seem to like dirt, to me they are always just a little more dirty each and every day. Whats a little more dirt?

Businesses that go bankrupt don't normally have a option, to give anything away. Their creditors (the people they owe, those that won't be getting what is owed to them) don't normally allow a bankrupt company to sell anything. They get a court order and take possession of all assets, including all "scrap" that can be sold. Nobody gives a thousand dollars worth of anything away! You must have been a very special worker, did other workers get these type of rare and special gifts?

Do pigs fly?
