That VCR thing reminded me of when I was clearing out my apartment before I left the UK. I decided to bin almost everything I owned apart from my books and vinyl and the Quicksilver G4 I was using at the time. All the bulky shit I dumped onto the street for pickup (in Glasgow, at the time, if you left large items on certain street corners they were collected on specific days by the scaffie wagon). This included my x-large Sony CRT monitor that I stole from an old job, a dismal tv with knackered buttons, a rickety computer desk, and a few assorted boxes with magazines, papers, old clothes, whatever.
I go down and dump everything and return to start cleaning, 15 minutes later I idly looked out the window and the desk, monitor, and tv had vanished along with some of the boxes, the other box (with the magazines) was left. I guess the local neds weren't into old copies of Computer Arts and queer erotic fiction.
Living in Partick was a fucking ride, to say the least.
