Glad I live in a high-end neighborhood, none of that stuff is allowed, armed guards at gate house, no one gets in unless it's on the sheet.
When do you get out on parole?

Last time by better half wanted to participate in the yard sale thing, I asked how much you think you can make? She says if I make #150. I would be happy. I gave her $150., told her to throw the SXXXt in the back of the pickup, and I made a run to Goodwill. KEEP OFF MY LAWN! Of course things were pretty quiet around the house for a couple days after that.
I got talked into going a couple of times and this is the kind of crap I ran into... oh and used paperback books...We don't even bother with the annual neighborhood sales as a buyer and we live outside the 'hood as a one time seller. We've found that the neighborhood sales don't typically have any of the good junk we like, it's usually child oriented or the stuff they didn't sell last year.
No chloroform?
IF he had chloroform I'd be flipping off the safety on my Glock.
What......Safety.....What......
We do the Goodwill thing too. My wife joined some club thing where you get a punch on a card for every bag you fill and turn in. They provide the bag.
Once your card is full of 10 punches you get a $25 gift card to use in the store to buy your stuff back. Ok just kidding on the buying your stuff back thing.
We do then give the cards to a women's shelter so that they can buy needed items for the ladies in need.
I would rather give to friends or donate than deal with some jackwagon trying to bust me down from a dollar to 50 cents.
DEFINITELY pay attention. Being multilingual is also helpful. Haven can tell a great story about the Hispanic couple that thought they could openly plot to steal in front of a gringo because she wouldnt understand them.
That wasn't at a garage sale, that was just in front of a Marsh. Little did they know my wife used to live in Puerto Rico and speaks Spanish (though she claims she doesn't since she doesn't talk as fast as a native would).
My neighbor had a garage sale a few weeks ago. We live in a secluded area, down a private road, not visible from any public road.
I'm never too happy when 'outsiders' discover our enclave, but such is life.
I thought it was at a garage sale where one said "you distract her and I'll grab the stuff" and she responded in spanish to get the F off your property. Guess I'm getting old and senile.
