Found money! 11 months ago

I bought that motorcycle at an antique store in Winston-Salem, NC. It used to be on one of those coin operated merry-go-rounds. The man said it had been in front of a Kmart for 10 years.I found out that the value of the aluminum in the piece is worth 4 times what I paid for it.The motorcycle weighs 70 lbs. I think I will just keep it, it looks great on my porch.

scrap metal

Yes, scrap metals are up for some reason. I’m always hearing about some idiot getting electrocuted while trying to steal copper wires.

I’m thinking of trying to cut up my old furnace so I can get it out of the basement and sell the metal.

That motorcycle is really a nice piece to have around though.

Wow

Really? I’ve never heard of that before. Maybe they should get some cameras in the parking lot. It’s really incredible what people will do to get some extra money.

Seriously!

They do have cameras and the tapes captured everything but the men have not been identified.

70 lbs!

At least no one’s going to run off with that…

I’m sure there’s someone out there who collects them too.
