That's what we heard last time. It sounded like someone was stomping on the floor above. We came back four days later and found a drinking fountain had been removed from the wall and found a backpack full of metal.

Ask them where some other abandoned buildings are.
The question is not when are we gonna stop, It's who's gonna stop us? |

"Why sure little lady", they say as they walk off to pawn your camera. Most scrappers will be far less inclined on getting caught then the average druggy who doesn't care. I would stay away from them if you can they are risking a lot for marginal rewards.

| | | My run in's with scrappers usually just amount to a wave or a simple exchange of "yo"'s. However I once got a building tour from a hobo scrapper who was living in an abandoned mill that was actually oddly informative about the mills operations. I have given and bummed smokes to a scrapper, one guy even gave me a lighter to keep when I asked for a light. Once a scrapper told me the entrance to a building that otherwise people thought was sealed. I have also heard of some very aggressive scrappers threatening to kill people. They are people, some are nice, some are mean.

| | | From what I've heard, it is a good idea to always carry around a few extra cigs as a token to any scrappers, homeless, etc. that you might run into. They will appreciate a nice gesture. Treat them with respect and if you sense any hostility, then just say you are passing through or leave them be.

| | | I don't consider scrappers as "equals". If there's water nearby, you can always deep-six their tools/cars/loot when they are not looking.
