I'm heading out now to check out the Pittsburgh nightlife (i.e. I'm going to crawl around in strange dumpsters and find free stuff).

Did you ask them why?
If they are throwing them away, why should they care?

JVC- The $64.00 Blockbuster Memorial answer ! most likely ! - Something to the affect of Even though they're throwing it away It's still their property ect.... I think they're probably afraid of liability issues ? Should 210Q get hurt or whoever else is diving there! They are afraid of being sued !!!!! & this is their way of Keeping people out of the dumpsters !210Q Did you ask them to call you and come pick them up ( old computers ?) It's a thought ?

Probably the same reason the University of Miami got in trouble a few years ago, (well actually in the late 70's.) The biology dept discarded a small fridge, someone "acquired it, kept it for a semester or two, then tossed it in a construction site, due to the Biohazard stickers on it, the EPA was involved and an investigation started, they were held liable even though they didn't toss it away improperly...

blivetNC- Like You said Liability issues & possibly also worried that he or someone else might scrape up some valauble data or Personal information from discarded hardcopies or off the HDD's & maybe even get the answers to the next text ? But mainly liability issues ! I would guess !

Has anyone considered that it might be a grand conspiracy to "launder" parts and that 21Q's actions have kinked the criminal hose of profit? Jesus, somebody stop me...

Me: "Who's involved?"
Sasquatch: "Everyone...you have no idea."
Me: "Dammit man, be more specific! The secretary? Higher?"
Sasquatch: "There was involvement from all levels. It goes all the way to the President [of the University]."

cincyrob- Yes I suppose so ? & I would think even though it is something You enjoy it Could be considered work and therefore a forbidden activity under those religous context? But not being well versed ( Pun unintended !!!) in comparative Theology ! I would'nt take what I say on this as Gospel law ! Anyway I hope everyone enjoyed theiR Easter !, Passover , or whichever holy days you observe!!!! Or if it was just a long weekend for you & you all had fun Then cool! In the words of Fr. Guido Sarducci "Arriva Derci America!!!!!!!!!!" & Ciao!

well ive been to the dive again, and let me tell all my diving friends there should be a law against me getting so many cases..lol i went monday night/tuesday morning 1am. and got 140 of some pea green x-box cases. whats so funny about it i got there right before the garbage man got there. i was in the dunpster when he pulled up. he got out to open the gates and seen me and asked what the hell i was doing.... so i told him. then asked if i could have a few minutes to get the rest of the case... he said sure as long as he could have some... i said sure as long as ya dont dump me with the rest of the trash..lol so i gave him about 30 of them and i got 140 and i know i left 20 or so in the dumpster.... another good haul.. going back tonight to see if they tossed any movie cases seeing it is release day(movie releases on tuesday dumpster release day on wed.)lol

21Q- I'm no lawyer But My understanding is that you have no expectation of privacy in your garbage ! - In other words if you put your trash out on the curb ! The police or any agency of the goverment that is investigating you does not need a Search warrant to search or possibly size your Trash ! Hpw this wou;d apply to dumpster diving should be similar ! if they were really worried about privacy they would'nt be throwing data/ HDD or Paper Hardcopy of anything useful away ! - They Could have issues on tresspassing though ! If you are in that much communication with them though! Why not offer your services like this ! Tell them you'll show them how to remove the data from the HDD's & offer to come pick the Computers up if they'll call you ? Or Just bribe the Janitor or whoever actaually puts them in the dumpster? LOL!

Rob, the cop in question reads this bulletin board and decided to grab some cases himself, just using his lights and authority to stake out his territory. Next time, just post how you found out how a local doughnut shop leaves leftovers on the back loading dock at a certain time for the hungry homeless people to snack on. Should draw him away long enough for you to dive in and get you some.
