My wife thought it was pretty funny when I showed her the posts but it really makes me hesitant.
I saw it happen 2x this year. For a couple dollars of items, it's just not worth the risk. I'll agree, these people didn't live in Anderson, they lived in Hamilton, but I'm a lot more comfortable picking things set curbside.
In Ohio where I sell my scrap, the yards get a list from the police of people involved with theft. If you get on this "no scrap" list you can't sell to the yards. If I'm not 100% sure something is trash, I will pass it by without a second thought. When the cops check the yards for stolen material and you are the one that sold it, you are done.
Next time I see one of these adds I'll post it in the forum.
