Yeah, sometimes it happens when you don't want it to. Learned that the hard way. Had a load of junk in a wheel barrow at the curb to load into the trash can. Some dick came by and took the wheelbarrow.
I got rid of two couches by leaving them on the curb with a "FREE" sign. They were gone in ten minutes. Living in a college town they don't last long. Probably wound up in a frat hose basement. I did get a free wheelbarrow once. It was full of junk. I dumped the junk in the front yard and kept the wheelbarrow................
