Huh.

As a kid in high school, I worked in a lumber yard/hardware store. We
used to find stuff in the dumpsters sometimes: good lumber, tools that
looked almost brand new, &tc.

Then they figured out that one of the yard men was stealing said
items. He'd stash them in the dumpster and go back at night to
recover them.

I wonder if anybody at the jobsite or nearby sites is missing a bench
grinder?

One of the periodic irritant$ of building houses is that folks, from

Last evening someone chunked, into one of my 4 x 8 OSB trash bins, a
Craftsman, 1/3 HP, 3400 rpm, dual wheel bench grinder, in _perfect working
order_ and with two new grinding wheels. Said tool from the era when
Craftsman tools were worth the price, .

It also pays, sometimes in more ways than you anticipate, to get yerass out
of bed and be the first one checking out the sites each morning ....

Some T9, a little WD40, and that sucker was screwed to my workbench by
lunch.
