Scrappers make me wanna puke

I was just out driving by one of my local houses to explore only to find scrappers moving wheel barrows of stuff outta there! Makes me sick! Should i have given them a piece of my mind? I slowed and they saw me... I regret maybe not saying something. Shame

There's no point in you saying something...there are more of them than you...

Best bet...crime stoppers.

call the police from a payphone and tell them you saw a group of shady people lingering around the property, and that it "looked" like they were holding shotguns.
They'll get the response they most assuredly deserve.

You sure it wasn't the owners or somebody contracted to remove the scrap?

I find that we have a symbiotic relationship with scrappers. While they destroy the places we love, we need them to open up many places, especially ones that are welded shut.

Personally, I would never call the cops. I hate 'em. Plus, maybe they were there with permission.

You know that "concerned citizen" that call and report when they see suspicious activity somewhere? The same ones who wont distinguish between explorers and vandals? Yup

Thats true astro.when i see them throwing things from the upstairs window then bolt when they saw me makes me believe their destroying the place... I guess i may have over reacted cuz i have some many emotional feelings to that place

I agree to having a definite love-hate relationship with scrappers / taggers / vandals. Its true they create access points that would otherwise remain sealed, but at the same time, Im still fundamentally opposed to what they do (especially scrappers). They're thieving lowlives who have no regard for others property. Sure I trespass, but I never steal and I never damage anyones personal property. I dont like to associate with those who do. Like I said before....its really love / hate.

And if they were there with permission and didnt actually have any weapons, they would have nothing to fear from the police showing up. When I was 8yrs old I had 5 cruisers show up at our house on christmas morning because a neighbour across the ravine from us saw me playing in the backyard with a toy gun. He told them I was shooting deer (lol). They showed up in full force, but left pretty quickly when they realized no crime had been committed.

^ This.

And if they're moving wheelbarrels full of stuff out of there, they're probably not explorers...

Taking action and being mistaken is better than not taking action. Somewhere out there, a property owner could be thanking you for making the effort.

After all, we'd do the same for an occupied dwelling if someone were walking out with a television set and bolted when they saw you.

Kudos!

Nope, you get their descriptions and vehicles, pictures if possible, then wait for the cops or owners to offer a reward. Then you call the cops and send them your pics.

This is so full of irony. You're there without permission doing stuff you should be doing and they're doing the exact same thing.

I've only run into scrappers once and it was a pleasurable friendly experience.

These are the nosy, nothing-better-to-do-busy-bodies you have to worry about. 9/10 they will call the cops on you with an exaggerated story to get a response, and for some reason they tend to always live next to the spaces you are trying to enter.

I also don't know how you can find running into scrappers pleasurable/amusing Neil... can you imagine if the police showed up, and they had criminal records? Sooner or later these thieves are going to figure out the explorers who they keep running into are carting expensive camera/video gear worth much more the junk they are spending a whole afternoon cutting.

There are different types of scrappers as well. I look less favourably on the one's with professional cutting tools, who drive a brand new Dodge Ram V10 than I do on the addicts who strip the plastic off wires. I have encountered numerous scrappers in Detroit who seem to be trying to eke out an existence from salvage and I don't fault them at all. Needless to say, a scrapper in suburban/rural Ontario is likely to be much less destitute than someone living in an economically depressed area in the U.S.
