It's times like this I remember the two complete Chev bumper assemblies I tried to save from the scrappy last year. Having slaved in 40 degree heat with a crook back to remove the rusty bolts, I dragged them up a steep hill and hid them behind a tree for collection next day with a trailer. When I got there at 8 AM the bastard had somehow sniffed them out and grabbed them with his excavator. They were already in the crush bin, along with a jeep trailer I'd asked him to put aside.

Unfortunately not Tony, I wanted to kill the bastard at the time but I was only on the property under the owner's suffrance, and since he hired the prick I couldn't even abuse him. I'd been pleading for months to get access but I was only allowed in 24 hours ahead of the scrappy. A lot of good parts went in the bin through lack of time to remove them from wrecks.
