Turns out there was no scrapman, at least not before Egbert and I went to see it. This piece of yard art was looking rather sorry for itself, but we decided to recover it. The owner + wife of the garden where it was stored (not the owner of the cab) was
very happy to see it go.
It is always better to cart it off and stash it away to find a proper use for it, than having someone else scrapping it.
