"this is like the gag about the man who remodels his kitchen.  he puts
"the old fridge out on the sidewalk with a 'free' sign on it.  it sits
"there for a week.  then he puts a '$50 - ask inside' sign on it and
"it's stolen within 4h.

Just to remove the story from a FOAF, and make it a story from a F, we put a
Xerox 2700 printer,
far too heavy to lift into the dumpster in the alley, next to the dumpster
with a "For Sale $75"
sign and it was gone that afternoon. The dumpster hadn't been collected.
Long beach, CA, c. 1980.
