As a backyard welder I'm always keen to recover dropped steel materials. 'Course, on a commute that's a cargo-capacity issue so if possible I'll chuck it into the pucker brush for storage and put it on my list to swing past on my next cager venture in the vicinity. If there's no place to 'store' it by the roadside, well it's just sacrificed with a sigh. My current (and semi-permanent) bike rack in my pick-up truck is contrived of found steel. Dime? Nah.

I once saw a little shivvering scottie by the road so I went back home, told the boss I'd be late, ditched the bike, got the truck, and picked up the little fella'.
