When you get a nice mower from the curb remember to always get around the
corner before you get it running again lest the original owners change their
mind.

Not where I live! In Shaler Township, it's illegal to scavenge refuse set out
for a pickup. There were several old guys who went around in pick-ups taking
aluminum lawn furniture (to sell/recycle) and powered lawn equipment to try to
repair. An ordinance was passed forbidding this practice. I'd sooner see a
lawnmower repaired and put back into service than go to a landfill. But in
fairness to the township, sometimes these scavengers would leave the rubbish
scattered about, and the refuse haulers wouldn't pick it up.
