I found something like that, actually three somethings in various sizes,
down at my local tip a few years ago when I was chucking stuff away. They
didn't have the DRO of course. I picked them out of the pile of scrap and
when I was walking back to the car some thick jobsworth ran up and said "you
can't take those, that's stealing from us." Like they don't sell everything
that's remotely saleable and pocket the cash themselves anyway. Each tool
was actually buggered in one way or another so basically it was about 5 lbs
of scrap steel at 4p a pound and about twice that to cart them away but of
course that's of no concern to a government jobsworth. If they just let
people skip dive like they do in the states they'd end up with half the crap
to cart away.
