I hate scrappers. The alleys around where I live are infested with them and their crappy wood paneled pickup trucks. My garage collapsed from heavy snowfall last year and they were circling like sharks when the crew came to demolish it. The dumb contractors left some items that we wanted to keep too close to the alley and they were gone in minutes before we even had a chance to get them. My girlfriend and I moved by ourselves this summer and we were so paranoid about them just driving up and grabbing stuff from the yard while we weren't looking. We were definitely sending out tweaker bat signals with our extra garbage and constant car packing. Even when we moved to our new place we almost immediately had people coming by the alley asking about the gardening boxes/fencing we had stored in the carport.
