99% of the TV's that me and my flea market friend see at the dump have had the CRT bashed and the yoke robbed. Around here, you pretty much have to be at the dump when the TV arrives because these "copper grabbers" do nothing but make the rounds all day. I think the most upsetting case was when a friend called to say there was a nice '50's Zenith B&W console at the dump. I tried to get him to save it; but, it was too heavy for him. So, about 30 minutes later, I made it to the dump; only to find a busted up mess. The only thing left was the cabinet and a bunch of busted glass. Now, I'd just rather not know about a TV at the dump unless it's already been saved. This junk of "there's a TV at the dump but I can't get it" is for the birds because there is a 99.9% chance the TV will be smashed by the time I get to it.
