Free Stuff Locusts

Well, my free stuff giveaway went well. I moved the items out of the garage and lined the driveway.

At 9am precisely the first person showed up and started taking stuff - he looked like a college student and he had a buddy. A woman with a minivan pulled up and she started grabbing everything she could fit in the van by herself. I said to them "It kind of feels like stealing doesn't it?" The woman replied, "Uh, kind of... yeah." as she picked up my coffee table and shoved it into the minivan.

I didn't see all the carnage because our realtor showed up at 9 and gave me her pitch. By the time she left at 11 am all that was left was a few items... it looked like locusts had stripped my driveway bare! I went outside to do some work and by 1pm the last person showed up and took the only items that were of any value. All I was left with were a few small desk knick-knacks and a box fan. The toys I just threw out and I stowed the box fan in the garage.

So this was pretty successful - so I was pretty happy and a few lucky people were also pleasantly surprised.
