I read about somebody that threw away an antique table of some kind. Somebody saw it and snagged it not even realizing that it was worth $470,000. When the people showed up on the news showing off their prized antique and a big check, the person that threw the table away was pissed and sued. They lost. > > The best/worst one of all was somebody that lives on Mayfair over in USC got their copper gutters ripped off the house in the MIDDLE OF THE DAY, and while the people were home! A close second is the church in Homestead right across from the Verizon building on E 9th. All the copper downspouts got ripped off. > > Fuckers… I actually heard that once you put the trash out, ownership goes to the waste company. Anything taken from the garbage can result in prosecution from tose fella’s. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fuckin-dirtbag-theives/197738)._
