really? Well the couple looked neither dirty nor hungry and drove up in a decent, white pickup truck, not a beater. they were maybe mid-30s and healthy looking.

I'm not sure "need" as much as "greed" is the driving factor here. and no, I'm not going to blame the State govt for not continuing additional unemployment for people when jobs are plentiful as a reason for driveway piracy, sorry. its people making money. while on the one hand I'm glad people can get use of some stuff instead of dropping it into a landfill, but on the other, it's kinda creepy to have these driveway pirates picking through my stuff on my property - which is according to the law, illegal. I just never witnessed it directly until Monday. I was quite stunning to observe
