When I was doing a lot of salvage stuff here at the house I was leaving a lot of stuff out front for the trash day. I realized that when I left heavy metal items like engine cases or cranks out front they usually disappeared within a day of being place out there. So now I usually put those items out several days before the trash pick up day. Only once did they remain for the trash guy. A neighbor across the street saw the pick up one day. He was laughing hard. Evidently the ones doing the pick up were a guy and a girl smaller than me. The item I left out that day was a 4L jeep head that was beyond repair. Anybody familiar with that engine will understand his laughing.

BTW with metal prices way up right now expect more of it. jimt > -----Original Message----- > From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of > Jeffrey Schwaia > Sent: Monday, February 14, 2005 10:59 AM > To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM > Subject: Thieves - Again > > Looks like I had another visit from the Vanagon thieves this weekend.
