Selling scrap aluminum / cutting square tubing

I feel the spirit of your post is to be assured its ok, I can't see how it can be theft as it has no owner.

Theft requires someone to lose property as a result, if it is scrap, tell anyone who questioned you, you just cleaned up an illegal dump site.

Nobody will care. Take it and use it on a challenger, zero budget hit and a cool story on the notes.

Approach said property owner, threaten to turn him in for illegal dumping, make agreement where he pays you to remove the scrap aluminum and shut the berkeley up, scrap the aluminum, CL it or use it on your next project, win/ win

If it's on your property, I don't think anyone can do anything about it if you scrap it.

If it's NOT on your property, I would call the local municipality and go from there.

And also, people who steal A/C units and the like in the middle of the night are worse than people who slash tires and key cars. They probably deserve to be castrated.

FTFY.

Bump, what about tearing apart an old stainless steel grill? Worth the time/effort?

only if a magnet doesnt stick...

scrap places consider magnetic stainless regular steel.

Hasn't moved in 5 years? Search public property records for the owner of the land, offer to do them a favor. Don't mention that you're going to make a direct monetary gain from the transaction - you'd like to use the awning frame to "store an old car under"...
