i drove by the local junk yard and saw an old green willys wagon. so i stopped in. last i knew, they were closing down. i walked to the office and the door was shattered and KEEP OUT was writen on the window in spray paint. the inside was trashed. the gate was closed but you could walk around it. then i saw just an axle with two old tires on it laying in the corner. it had drums. i instantly thought "ooo maybe its a 44". im still kinda new with this so i cant identify it off hand. so i grabed my phone and snapped a shot. then looked it up online and yeah its a 44. dont know what gears, but its just laying there saying "im free in an abandoned junk yard". should i throw it in the back and bail??????
 
Momma always says....."Stupid is as stupid does"......

Odd that you would poll a group of complete strangers about how to plan out your next 5-10 years......perhaps the CT AG would better answer your questions: "I stealing stuff that ain't mine OK if nobody is around?" Or better yet "If no one sees me do it, is it really stealing?".....this one is my favorite: "Why are all the big sweaty men looking at me and smiling?......GUARD!! HELP ME.......pleeeaaaassse. :kissyou:

It belongs to someone, find them and make them an offer.

Theives are spineless wussies that should be beaten until they no longer consume oxygen.......

dude the place is desolate. its RIGHT THERE. its staring at me. i dont even have to carry it more than 30 feet

No he should chang his name to "Stupidstrong". Last time I tried carrying an axle I about broke my back.
 
Go ahead and grab it. Leave a note with your name, addy and phone #, In case it's not as abandoned as you thought.

Also touch as many objects as you can, and then go file for a Concealled Weapons Permit at the Local PD.

As great as that sounds, I think it's pretty safe to assume at this point that any trust you may have built up has just been completely and utterly demolished.

If you don't consider stealing from a closed business to actually *be* stealing, what *do* you consider stealing to be?
 
stupidfast, some advice:

Look up the owner of the property and contact them to see if you can take it, that way you won't have to suffer any more unnecessary flaming on this site and you can feel good about taking it...

Yeah right.
 
Keep in mind that to most gearheads...

a decent axle is never garbage...

maybe it's sitting close to the gate waiting for it's owner to pick it up...

maybe it is trash but 5 seconds after you load it into whatever vehicle you have...

the "owner" rolls up with a JY dog and a hogleg...

I had a couple of guys come into my driveway wanting to "haul away"the full width axles I had for my swap...

They didn't knock or ring the bell...

Just backed up their truck and tried to start assesing the task when the dog went apeshit, the wife looked out the window and told them to get the hell outta there...

Thieves always like to use the "It was just trash" excuse...

They were fortunate I was at work.

I woulda forced them to make a naked human pyramid

:D
