What cool shit do you pick up off the street for free? I love these yellow boards, perfect for covering the deep holes I dig in my garden.

Not really off the street but a local thrift store has a free section. The other day I got a pair of Redwing steel toes my size. They were like brand new but they had thrown them in the free section because they had gotten rained in.
damn some free Redwings? That's a fuckin comeup bro. I spent like 110 on some nondescript Doc Martens the other day, I still feel like I paid too much lol
Yeah they have cool shit in the free section all the time. Last time was a free dining table that's going to end up as my work bench
Sometimes I find food sand and cute rocks for modelling there.
*good sand
They don't even emboss the characters anymore?
I feel like texas should have enough prisoners to emboss those.
Texas plates are the most soulless plates in the US now. They're so fucking ugly.
>Barcodes
Wonder what Texas uses those for.
VIN number (lol vehicle identification number number)

street sweeper bristles
I make wrenches and lockpicks from them (spring steel)
ours are stupid nylon or whatever :/
>street sweeper bristles
I found a literal pile of them at a corner once, had to be at least 70-100 of them. They're all chilling in my garage atm.
>Collecting thing of clear value despite it having little personal application
>hoarding answers waiting for a question
I'm not knocking you I'm just recognizing the trait many of us share
Yeah I used an old rusty winch hook last week that I snagged for free like 10 years ago and I felt so vindicated
>chilling
Put em in wd40 or oil before you forget them
I got this old Craftsman jack from somenody’s curb. Popped a new seal in the piston and she’s ready to go for another 50 years. Made in Japan, I think it’s a rebranded Blackhawk.

I made the mistake of letting my job move me to Europe so I got rid of most of my heavy furniture thinking it was a one way trip.
> get laid off before visa turns to permanent residency.
Out of spite I made the fuckers fly me back to America to the farthest west place I could think of. California. The neighbor I went to had a ton of rootless cosmopolitans who would leave their shit out for free like I did.
Here's a list of shit that I found:
> Solid oak end tables
> a weird ass flower lamp
> multiple dressers
> a chaise lounger that goes in front of the bed
> Futon frame (bought a new mattress for it)
> a network color laser printer
> A great office chair
And my personal favorite
> a 32 inch LCD TV for the bedroom
> A 52inch LCD smart TV
TV had a bad LCD strip which I repaired for 40$ best part? The previous owner was still signed into all of their streaming services. I haven't paid for any streaming services in 4 years and they haven't seemed to notice the shit I add and watch.
Kek, you should add all kinds of stuff to their lists.
bro you stole that from an exposed excavation and joggered away with it.
It's fine, it'll grow back.
Nature always finds a way.
road signs make excellent roofing material, simply flip them over so nobody knows you stole them!
And the posts make great railing for a utility trailer. It's sturdy af and it already has holes right in it for ratchet straps
>road signs make excellent roofing material
Except all the places they might blow over are the ones where they have bullet holes
>Except all the places they might blow over are the ones where they have bullet holes
That makes no sense. If they have bullet holes in them there will be even less wind resistance.
Look, I didn't put the hurricanes and tornados over the South and Midwest.
Clearly the residents are just tying to help.
Street sweeper bristles for lock picking
I found a big push broom and a nice heavy steel pot
Do designs count? I'm always taking photos of interesting design. Pic related
>no smoking
Fucking nazi bastards
