Usually the pickers are in rusted pick ups but these folks were in a new Buick. They saw me watching them but just didn't give a hoot and continued doing their thing. Don't know if it is against the law to go though other's trash once it is outside. Have to watch more CSI to be in the know!!!

On this I would take their license number and call the sheriff's non emergency number. I can understand taking usable discards on the driveway, but to open trash is another. Everyone shred your pertinent information. We are helping each other on this thread.
