....pipes...
yesss...atz funny

So the lesson is, if you need metal pipe never buy any from Jason D. Pressel, 32, of the 200 block of South Baltimore Street in Dillsburg .

For some reason, I was expecting the mugshot to be way more... fabulous.

I used to live in Dillsburg, so I am, indeed, getting a kick...

Uh, dude? When you go to steal scrap metal, you can't be so baked you forget what you're doing halfway through.

An investigation determined that Pressel had stolen a metal pipe from the construction site and various pieces of metal from large trash bins in the area

That has to be one of the most low-key thefts I've heard of lately. Either that, or he's just some kind of artist, looking for metal bits for a project.

Driving a red Ford Tempo didn't help him much. It's not like there's a lot of those left on the road.

I caught a guy trying to steal the old aluminum siding that we had taken off our house. It was sitting next to our garage in a pile, cut up and cleaned up, the way the local recycling yard wanted it. I caught the guy just as he started loading it in his old pick up truck. He claimed that he thought I was just throwing it away. He threw what he had already loaded back on the pile, and I didn't make a big deal about it. Of course when I took it in I was floored when I got $300 for it.

"Pipes? Pipes, you ask? Well, we gots pipes of all kinds, precious, precious pipes..."

\CSB: Yo, takers, just ask politely, please. Thank you.

There are makers and there are takers, you must give this taker credit for doing some work at helping himself.

smitty04: There are makers and there are takers, you must give this taker credit for doing some work at helping himself.

Um,

I dispute your labels, sir. "Makers and takers?", sir? According to what metrics?

Please define your terms.

What is a "maker"?

What is a "taker"?

I expect scholarly citation, sir.

I've had people steal a beer can I was using as an ashtray off my front porch, and had my car broken into to steal a Bic lighter. No theft surprises me anymore.

Stealing steel relegates him to the lowest echelon of metal thieves.

A man in a old beat-up pickup drives around our subdivision on trash night, looking for shinies. It's a different guy every week though.

Every red Ford Tempo I ever saw, the paint was oxidized.

I grew up about ten minutes from Dillsburg and, I can honestly say, this does not surprise me.

If it's the same guy's face ever more than thrice, reach out to him.

Make someone's world, yo.

You can do it.

I know you can.

We must be neighbors.

Why am I not surprised by this?

i see you're a friend in PA. just a FYI, "shinies" has a real not-nice meaning in NY/NJ.

How come when police go through your trash it's fine, but when you go through the construction company's trash, it's a crime?

Typical Dillsberger.

Gyrfalcon: That has to be one of the most low-key thefts I've heard of lately. Either that, or he's just some kind of artist, looking for metal bits for a project.

I was riding around with a friend one day and he said he needed cash. He stopped at a dumpster next to a construction company and jumped in. He started tossing things out that he wanted, parts to street lights and a large amount of small scraps that would fit in his trunk easily. We then drove to the junkyard and he got $100 for the scrap.

/that was my first sign he was getting shady, then I found out he had taken up an interest in meth.

you guys act as if you have never heard of this before.

I hope he's no longer your friend. You'll be noticing things missing from your apartment soon, if not.

Yea I've known a fair share of users, even lived with two for a short time when I was just starting out in a city but I just saw their lives spiral downward fast. Got the hell outta that situation before they ran out of college loan money. Once I found out about this friend being a user I made an exit and never talked to him again.

Well it's been rammed into my head that trash is available to be taken by anyone. So i'm guessing, respect my authoritah, violation.

Taking bits of metal from dumpster is stealing?

WTF?

I'm in construction... and I LOVE the scrappers. The poorer the neighborhood, the fewer times I hafta have the roll-off dumped. I built a grocery store in Stockton CA and only had the bin dumped twice the entire job. It was awesome. Metal, pallets, wood, plastic, cardboard... whatever... those guys take it all.

Of course... some asshole throws a couch in there at night and I go full Hulk.

He's a Farkin' tool.

your never there
you stop and stare
ABACAB
cause your never there

He was just looking for them new deals only in Dills-Dillsburg! 

/I hate those commercials.
