I dumpster dived in shorts as a kid. Naive, yes, but the odds of finding something outweighed my self-preservation instincts. My earliest finds were dress patterns, sold to the flea market lady for 10 cents a piece, netting me 30 bucks as a 12 year old.

At 17, I was pulled out of a dumpster by a cop who promptly dragged me to my old man, who defended me and told the cop about my windfalls from dumpster diving. When I got my drivers license, I gave up DD'ng altogether and took up curb crawling. 30-some TVs later, I'm still at it. Nothing lately for me, but the wife got some 300 or 400 new commercial clothing hangers out of a skip outside a closed clothing store. Dunno if she was wearing shorts.....
