    Kudos to all you dumpster divers, you can find some really valuable shit if you look hard enough.

    Greatest score I ever came across was a fully functional, MD-50 Denon MiniHi-Fi system me and my friend found in a public dumpster located in a picnic ground around 2 years ago.

    That place was around 2 minutes from a huge shopping mall so we guessed it was stolen or something; it was wrapped up in blue plastic and had some CDs and DVDs inside it as well as some brand new ones wrapped up along with it.

    It was probably a demonstration model, but how somebody managed to nick that from a store is beyond me.
    Anyways I gave my friend the speakers and I kept the main unit.

    Still working great to this day, it's got a 3 disc CD changer, plays Mp3s, Radio, AUX input it also doubles as a receiver as its got about 50 input jacks at the back of it. Sound quality is great, hooked it up to some old Sony speakers I had lying around, sounded better than my newer Phillips FW-C580 Hi-Fi system I got in 2006.

    I've noticed that the BB here in northern Charlotte triple bags their cases as if preserving them for an unknown diver..

    My wife thinks that we are all nuts or insane, (Unfortunately she works as a psychiatric nurse and may be an authority on nut cases..)

    Went down to quite a few local retail stores last night, only to find out that they have compactors...

    I was looking for a way in, but couldnt find one, I didn't see a lock closing an opening or anything, not sure if it was at the very top or what. I know it's a good idea to not go into compactors, but I was hoping for some adventure rofl :D

    Oh well, there's at least one dumpster with good stuff in it, so it's not that bad at all.
