We took it to the curb around 3:45 this afternoon; I looked outside around an hour later - it was gone! Someone had actually taken an old television in the middle of the afternoon. Naturally, I do not care who or why it was taken.

I have seen other things outside like chairs or tables to be taken - but an old style television that the Salvation Army told me they would not take!
It's the old story . . .

One man's trash is another man's treasure.
