    A friend of mine owns a grocery store. One night she put the deposit bag in the pocket behind the driver's seat. Stopped to grab some gas and car was stolen. They found the car 2 weeks later damaged and abandoned. When she went to see the car the deposit bag was still behind the seat! Over 80K !!! The thieves never looked

    An old freind ran a scrap yard years ago and he would save all the tools found in the cars. When he closed the yard,the wrenches and other things filled a pickup tray. A couple of tons!.

Trying to restore my 81 short bed and finding a good parts truck is becoming a job. Congratulations on your success, well deserved.

    The best change find I ever had was back in 1970, The city of Boston cleaned up hundreds of abandoned cars around the city. I found the yard they brought them to and spent the summer harvesting the change. The cars went back to the 40s up to the early 60s, so the interiors were metal with Phillip screws. I would come out of there with both front pockets full, maybe $10.00 in each.

    Standard shift knobs are cool. That's what you need to save. Just having a box of various shift knobs. Your vids are popular because of the subject, the experience, how you explain the economics of junking, and watching somebody else's junked auto go off to glory. I hated to see the Studebakers go, but they were absolute junk, and the land is better off with them removed. No go clean up your back woods wrecks and some of the heavily damaged hulks you've saved, and clean the land! I'd also like to know how the stuff sent to the Texas antique show paid off.

    Several of my friends salvage yards save all the keys from cars going to the crusher, both some key fobs got value to other buyers & the rest of the brass keys go into 55 gallon drums, a 55 gallon drum of scrap brass is good money & they do add up quite quickly, bullets go into a brass bucket too ,specifically cartridges & casings as well as live ammunition, the same goes with the found change, much of it is dumped into old compressed gas cylinders with a slit cut into it & every year they cut it open & split the money among the crew members, he doesn't keep it ! & it does really add up quite quickly, & it cannot easily be moved either as its spot welded to a iron beam ,it gets cut off every Christmas season & a new cylinder gets welded up every January

    When they inspect dry powder fire extinguishers here, they just check the pressure gauge, then turn it upside down and hit the side hard with a rubber mallet. The powder settles and compacts some in the bottom, and hitting it shakes up the powder so that it will flow easily. I have found a nice set of jumper cables, tools, and a commercial pet hair dryer that works good. This type of dryer sells for $200, but the cashier charged me $5 or so and rang it up as a heater blower. Congratulations on the 25K.
