If you lived in central Florida you could just put it out by the street
and
someone would steal it within a couple of hours. I get rid of all sorts
of
stuff that way, gotta drag an old fiberglass jon boat that someone left on
my property down there pretty soon.


That's how I get rid of lots of semi-useless stuff, but in the
pick-up sense rather than stealing. Our house is on a common
cut-through-the-neighborhoods path, so things with a "free" sign
don't last long. (I have an extra string trimmer I need to put
out. Any mechanic could probably make it run, but I'm no mechanic.)


Reminds me, got a couple junker lawnmowers need to go to the curb with a
sign ...
