Re: Dumpster Diving
One time a friend of mine who works at a nearby waldbaums told us that one of the stored in that mall was throwing out alot of computers. So we went to the dumpster behind the store that night and found about 20 P3 IBM's, so we took them and nothing happened. A month or so later a few kids from my Engineering class went dumpster diving for some building materials that had been thrown out, the guy who was renting the dumpster contacted the school and the kids who did it were told not to do it anymore. The school said that if they were caught doing it again they would get detention. So personally I think it doesn't just have to do with legal or illegal, but depends more on who your taking the stuff from.
But stuff I've gotten from garbage piles:
countless computers, VCR's, TV's, 2 arcade machines, Stereos, a broken TRI-D chess set, lawn mowers, dirt bikes(asked before taking), snow blowers, monitors, and a bowflex(needed a little welding, but good as new).
