i got my playstation free - neighbourhood garbage walk. two controllers and a few games included, too.
it's garbage night tonight, i should go for a wander. i put out a box earlier of free stuff and a sign that says 'FREE STUFF FOR MUTANTS'. i used to have a 'FREE STUFF FOR ZOMBIES' sign too (with zombies from that stencil i made), but someone took it the last time i set a box of free stuff out at the curb.

for some reason the law here says that taking anything that someone has left as rubbish is theft. I tried to claim a chair from a skip once and the policemen who was watching me told me to put it back and let it get taken away to be disposed of. wtf?

and people here tend to tag stuff as free so the garbage collectors don't take it, and it's common so i don't think the cops harrass people.
a couple of years ago the cops stopped me when i was out one night but it was because there had been a break-in and when i told them i was garbage shopping they knew the score.
