I was driving back to school during lunch today with a couple of my friends when we saw a massive TV just sitting on the corner. We decided to take it with us into school. Here’s a picture of my friends and the TV waiting for the elevator. We plugged it in and surprisingly it seems to work well.
(PS-that Frankenstein looking black girl is NOT one of my friends...she decided that she wanted to "help" us push it, and proceeded to stand like that for a while)
The vice-principal, a man who has seen us bring a lot of odd shit into school with us (a newspaper bin, a rolling planter from Starbucks, a 5 foot tall painting of a panda that we stole from Panda Express etc..) told us that this was TOO big and that we had to put it back. In exchange, he would give us late passes. Instead, we hid the TV in the drama room.
Does anyone else have any sweet free-stuff finds? (I’m looking at you Pentium)

None personally, but dumpster diving can be profitable. At chain electronics stores, they simply discard items that have been returned by customers, as it’s cheaper than returning them to the manufacturer/distributor. Of course, the dumpster might be locked, but you can remove the clevis pin from the hinge pin on the doors, then pull the long hinge pin, and you’re in!
Also, they discard unsold seasonal items. For example, with Easter being so early this year, all the unsold plush rabbits, chocolate bunnies, and greeting cards went straight into the shitcan. If retrieved, the greeting cards can be used next Easter, the chocolate bunnies can be eaten, and the plush toys given to poor children you might know.
I did once find a cache of automobile speakers on the beach, which were presumably stolen. There, I met a beach bum with half his feet severed, as if he stood on a rail when a train passed over. The speakers couldn’t possibly have ben any good, so I removed the magnets and filed down the rivets that once held them onto the frames, making a flat surface. Those magnets are powerful buggers. Nearly seventeen years later, they’re still on my refrigerator. They can hold stacks of papers onto the steel doors without dropping them., while ordinary magnets are lucky if they’ll hold one piece of paper.
