since your offerin matt I need like 4 lol
I went scouting on Sunday at noon. It was awesome! Such a nice day, everyone took the opportunity to put their stuff out. I took my son and two of the neighbor kids cruising and collecting.
We found a large bike tire scooter, two power wheel jeeps, a power wheel dump truck, a complete Rescue Heros command center, an unopened laser tag two player setup, a hocky game, a keyboard, 3 Tonka trucks, a lighted world globe, a perfect umbrella, a radio control robot, a nerf rocket launcher with rockets, a nice sport watch, and some kind of playschool tree house. We did not take the huge plastic playhouse, old ghetto blaser radio, several nice items of furniture, and other things. Mainly just looking for toys or irresistable items.
There were about a thousand strollers, car seats, and plastic little tykes stuff.
Funniest moment was when a loaded truck of gypsies decided to take the neighbors recliner, but could not fit it into the truck, so the old lady gets out and sits in the chair for two hours until they come back with the truck empty! While she waits, she passes the time by "cleaning" the chair with her spit.
I knew you would have the stories, Mike!

I wonder how amny houses saw their stuff taken, but other stuff left behind as people "traded -up"?

One garbage day I put out something fairly large (can't remember what) and in the morning it was gone, and there was a 19" TV on my parkway. Must not have been enough room in the Hyundai for both items. Luckily the trash guy took the TV, or I would have been pissed.
People are funny! Last year, I found a Power Wheels Kawasaki Quad and as I was pulling it out to take, some wouman pulled up and started yelling at me that she saw it first??!! I kicked her ass and took it.

I remember that from last year....I thought of you as soon as I saw the piles at the curb....did you guys take those Power Wheels you saw this year?
Oh yeah! I now have eight.
Beside the two old jeeps and dump truck we got this year, we have a black jacked up jeep, a red jeep, a Big Foot truck, a mack truck, and the quad. I have been running them on 18 volts in series and they friggin fly.
We had a block party last weekend and I sponsored a Powe Wheels race for the kids. 14 kids and 7 rides (the neighbors had a coupe to add) and it was hularious! I will get a vid of that up soon.
Hahahahaha!!! This thread is hilarious.
