Dumpster diving ( was RE: [rescue] The onyx godness (first pictures))

[Thomas Gallaway]

Been chased off by rent-a-cop's quite a few times.

The main rules are (may vary from state to state) but these are mine:

dumpster fenced - bad idea
no trespassing sign - bad idea
no trespassing sign but you can see sweet hardware in the dumpster - bee
fucking carefull
government dumpster - hell NO
dumpster with many camera's pointed on it - be carefull and prepare to run

main rule number 1: allway's leave the dumpster how you found it.
if you make a mess they will notice AND might get pissed and smash
the hardware next time befor disposing it.

main rule number 2: if a guard tell's you not to come back, dont do it or
make
sure there's a diffrent guard.

I had some nigerian guards freak out on me and started to getting a
heartattack
and I just tried to explain to him that we are just geeks looking for
puterstuff.
He didnt tell me to not come back so we came back.

Then again this other company after 10pm they had some securit guard that
totally
freaked out on us and called the cop's while we where digging true server's
and stuff.
The guard befor 10pm was so cool that we allway's had a chat with him and he
even
one day asked us if we where dont in the building and if he should secure
the loading
dock (he tought we worked for them I belive)

I'll compile a list with do's and dont's but for now just try dumpster's
that "feel" good
and if there are goverment installation's stay away from them or you might
have a m16
pointed at your head some day with a angry guard asking you to leave.
(happend to my
buddie).

Cja,
