Its totally up to the discression of the explorer. i almost never take anything but that's because I rarely find fun in taking other people's shit. Its also a legal thing, but that aside do what you will. If any ethics nazi's chew you out then ignore them.

Thanks, Caveman, for taking the words right out of my fingers. Personally, I take pictures, trinkets, tools, whatever. A phenomenal example is here: I big fan of Honda, and also a big fan of Marvin Gaye. I happen to own a piece of paper that proves that, at some point, Marvin Gaye owned a Honda. This piece of paper has a whole hell of alot more life in my artifact collection than it did in a filing cabinet in an abandoned building. You mileage may vary. dev  Passed away September 23rd, 2006.  |  Re: your opinion... <Reply # 24 on 8/15/2005 8:04 AM >   here's another one: The beatles' "HELP" getting STOMPED by the sound of music and herb alpert in the top 100. This one even still has dusty footprints on it, having been stepped on by other explorers. take only pictures, leave footprints on priceless artifacts.

Personally I never even get the urge to take stuff from places I visit, the desire to take stuff doesn't even enter my head so I've never had to stop and think it through. I consider myself fortunate.

Finn  Location: Plano, TX Gender: Male  |  Re: your opinion... <Reply # 28 on 8/15/2005 5:09 PM >   Usually I say, "Take only pictures, Leave only footprints" but I have been guilty of taking a couple keys from various buildings. But, when I'm in a drain, I consider anything fair game. I've got an old rusted road sign I found down there, and Charrellz has a pretty impressive antique Dr. Pepper collection going. Mostly, you've got to ask yourself, "Is anyone going to miss this?" Since I don't think anyone will even notice something like a key missing, I take them. And since me and Charrellz are the only drainers I know about in our area, nobody's going to miss anything down there. Just remember getting caught with something quickly changes trespassing to theft and burglary. Rest in Peace, Ninjalicious. I know that wherever you are, you're finding the best sites for us already.

I think of it this way; I would hate to explore a place where people had taken all of the cool stuff, so why would I want to make others deal with that. If something is cool, I take a picture.

HagensborgViking  Location: Fernwood, Victoria Gender: Male  |  Re: your opinion... <Reply # 38 on 8/16/2005 2:24 AM >   Early last year I was checking out an old Burnaby house that was slated for redevelopment. I found something I really wanted, and knew I was the best candidate for ownership. So I put it in my bag and continued my tour. Later, in the attic, I found the motherlode. A young historian's dream come true. Overflowing shoeboxes of old letters dating back to the 30's. Christmas cards, love letters, bank statements, you name it it was there. Some of the letters and cards hadn't even been opened. Hmmmm, what does one do?!? Well, I bit the bullet. I put my stolen object back where I had found it, went back out the door I came in, and made a phone call to city officials. I told them that I had been in the old house and had come across this huge chunk of history. With gratitude for the heads up, the head of the planning department put a hold on the demo permit, and pressured the developer to let us BOTH in (legally) to take photos of the home for a historical reference. Once inside, we "FOUND" the old letters, and at that point proceeded to obtain permission to take anything either of us wanted. So in the end, we saved some history (Museum officials are still sifting through the letters) and I got my trinket. THE END I hope you believe me when I say that I too believe in taking only pictures and leaving only footprints, but there are times where you have to weigh against the likelihood that something you would kill to have... is only going to get stolen or bulldozed, so why not put it in the care of someone who will cherish and protect it? Not hardly a new morral dilemma.... Case in point... Over 100 years after the great fire of 1898 that destroyed most of New Westminister, someone came forward with the original Burnaby crest and official seal... something that was determined to have been destroyed. This person's parents had it stashed in their underwear drawer all this time, and its return made headlines. Something not considered valuable today can be someones prayer down the road, so how can you pick it up, admire it, and put it back down knowing full well that a big yellow Cat is gonna mash it into the ground in a few days?!?
