    Sounds like the start to a great novel.

    Mackdl,
    the lighter fluid doesn't have an adverse effect on the cases?

    BigToxy69,
    I could see this escalating to turf wars at some point. Like those guys in the middle of Walmart fighting over McFarlands.

    BIGTOXY69,

    Thanks, I will have to try that next time. I have used a hair dryer and it works well, but there is still the residue.

    No, I've been using it for years. I've also used it on pv'd dvds which have stickers on them, but I always wash off with soap and water after I've got all the residue off.

    While we're on the topic of pv'd. I recently traded in some of mine, many of which I had doubles of, only to find my local BlockBuster has put some out to rent rather than sell.........GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

    I think you're the next Faulkner, Cincy.

    "Rob left his 4th story walk up not knowing what lay beyond. All he knew was that he had to find out what was in that dumpster. Through the soupy fog of the damp Cincinnati night he tiptoed past the empty tattooed bus stop benches, around dimly lit corners and through seedy, alcohol-tinged alleys. With a long, hesitating gaze he stared down the territorial bums lodged in their ramshackle tents of newspaper and old Reds blankets.
    What would Janice think, Rob thought to himself. What would she say if she knew what drove him deep into the haunted depths of the city where only the bravest or neediest ventured at such hours of the night. He couldn't think about it. She couldn't understand things like free cases or rousing from sleep in the middle of each night with a singular thought ruminating, driving him. Fear and sanity were not an option. Rob hesitated under an old street lamp and glanced at his watch, "what would JVC do?" he whispers to himself, "what would JVC do?"

    LOL a great start!

    I remember my first dive... I got lucky and found a hoody! I don't know if my local BB has a dumpster, though I know that it is part of a strip mall, so they probably share dumpsters with quiznos, hair salon, and the pizza place. I bet if I did, there would be old pizza sauce all over the cases, so nevermind. BUT, then again... hehe

    I can see it now. I make my first buck and the Cincinnati Dumpster Case Don sues me for royalties. Next thing you know I'm back in the dumpster. Hey, that's not a bad place to be. Free is free

    You Guys Are a laugh riot !!!!!!!!! . who says you can't get an education and be entertained at the same time ! I went yesterday -just a few carboard boxes & paper trash ! looked freshly dumped ! well can't fault a body for trying can you ?If RippDogg gets to be the next Faulkner ! Do I get to write the Womens romance Novels ? You Know the kind with Fabio In a Unbuttoned shirt wind in his hair !
    Page 1 chapter 1 . " Joan knew in her Heart that it was Wrong !, Wrong, Wrong !!! That Six men were Too many for her , but That ten were not enough !. Perhaps She should Give up the Governess job ? And go back to her life as a Exotic dancer working at the Kit Kat Klub ! But then who would take care of little Blind Melissa who she had grown to love like a daughter ? And what of Mr. CrappleBush ? Melissa's Cruel and yet Somehow Ruggedly Handsome Father, a merchant Ship's Captain who gave a whole new meaning to the term Yard arm !!!!! Joan's Mind pondered all this !!! and soon she found herself Behind Blockbuster Babbling Incoherently " What Would JVC Do ??? " - To be Continued ? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If I saw a guy with garbage bags cabbage patching in front of a dumpster....well, I'd have to at least consider a.) calling the authorities....b.) getting out of my car,cracking a beer and joining in.....or c.) beating him about the head and neck with the little souvenir Mud Hens baseball bat I keep in the back seat, taking his bags, and running like hell. You know, it's hard to say unless you're in actually faced with it. Then again, if it's Cincy, I might have to throw a few singles his way. It's been a long time since I saw a Reds fan dancing. Ouch!

    Naw ! CincYRob would Probably Do The Dead Roach ! It just seems Appropriate - Dumpster , trash Roach ! I made a Quick trip to BB toady Found 7 cases , But 5 were Game cases with the weird sheild shaped media holders ! Not CD or DVD shaped ! 2 were DVD cases But one was Frazzled & Ripped !! Like a Dogg ate it ! ( Who Let The doggs Out ! WOOF! WOOF !lol!! . SO I ended up with 1 good clean case for my trouble & through the game cases back to confuse other divers LOL! But "FREE IS FREE " even if it's just one ! later !!!!1
