In the Belgian recycling parks, you're forbidden to take things. Once they've been dropped off, they cannot be claimed.
Somehow, my sister just managed to rescue a 17" iMac G4 from a tragic fate. She spotted its owner dropping off this (OMG SO PRETTY) machine and got it off him just before he put it down.
Then she called me to let me know of her deed, to ask if I wanted it (is the pope Catholic?) and to apologise because there were no cables with it 😚 .
@nivrig I think we should have retro nerd cards that we can flash and go "Let me handle this, I know what I'm doing. This belongs in a museum!". And people would tolerate our weird dumpster diving habit.
