Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted December 8, 2025 Posted December 8, 2025 We had a hand-me-down huge tube-type tv that finally died (20 years ago). It was bulky and very heavy, and the city said they’d haul it off for $25. I put it on the curb with a “for sale-$25” sign. It was stolen within an hour. Problem solved for free! 1 1 10 Quote
Eyesa Horg Posted December 8, 2025 Posted December 8, 2025 The city should've taken it for free. Now they get to carry it back up a bank and get rid of it for free. 3 Quote
Rye Miles #13621 Posted December 8, 2025 Posted December 8, 2025 I put a 32” tv out on the tree lawn last year and someone took it in less than a half hour. 1 Quote
Eyesa Horg Posted December 8, 2025 Posted December 8, 2025 Kind of amazing that the easiest and cheapest way to dispose of stuff is to make it visible and give it an hour or so for some scum to steal it! 1 1 Quote
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted December 9, 2025 Posted December 9, 2025 Years ago a friend had a huge recliner that was getting sort of ragged. He advertised in the paper with zero results. His son Mark took it out to the driveway and put a sign on it saying "Mark, take this over to the office and put it in the lounge." It was gone in less than two hours. 1 3 Quote
