Friend bought a house at a foreclosure auction. Head out in the morning to pick up a coin-op pool table and a jukebox. No idea what they are but free is always good.
Interesting, the house is on tax rolls at 110,000, he got it for 37,000 cash. Someone has broken in and stolen the wiring and hot water heater. Glad they left the juke :-)

Good Luck,
and it's so worth paying someone else to move the pool table.

Times are bad when people steal the wiring and copper pipe out of houses. I ready for the geniuses to leave office and for another idiot to take over.

I was reading an article the other day that stealing copper wiring is a major problem in many large cities costing billions of dollars.
Getting it all put back together costs more than the materials.

Detroit would have several dozen people die a year trying to steal copper wire from live transformers, either electrocution, or falling off the utility pole. The prices for scrap I guess were worth risking one's life.
