So, I've been wondering something about the pick a part scrap yards. When I've gone in the past, I've noticed stuff like handfuls of change, screwdrivers and misc tools, even a gift card once. My question is this: Is it acceptable to take things that are not car parts from the scrap yard? Should you try to pay for it?

when I was a stupid kid, i went to a pick yard, and put 4 wire wheels in the trunk of my tr4a. and then went to pay for some other shit.

the man said, ok, let's look in your trunk.

"I open trunk, and, oh yeah, i want these too".

Agreed but you know King James was violently gay.

You should just show random pocket shit. If you don't wanna pay, you don't really want it. They appreciate that shit. I pick up wheel weights to lead cast and they just let me have them. One bitch actually charged me but it was like a dollar a handful.

Not saying I never steal shit but that's just for sport and I'd rather steal from big corporation. The junkyard owns everything in that car.

If I left something at the side of the road I would be fine if somebody took it. Leaving items in a scrapped car is basically the same thing. If they wanted those items, they would take them. My brother worked for an auto recycler, and one of his jobs was to remove personal items from the cars. He could keep what he found. He’s found change, shoes, knives, and a taser

this is a load or horse shit.. if you find money or valuables in a car you are taking parts off, then its yours. the junkyard doesnt sell gold rings and gold chains and gift cards. they sell car parts. anything else in the car is free game. plus ive pocketed fuses and relays and even a small wire harness.. they aint gonna search your pockets. they dont care about those items.. they care about you walking out with a $50 starter or alternator, or a $500 engine, not a 5 cent fuse
