Crazy Collection Capers

I almsot died laughing the other day.
My neighbour told me about how they had had their old toilet in their garage for ages, so they were really excited when they found out about the kerbside collection in our area coming up.
So they put this old toilet (which was in multiple pieces) on the kerb and waited for the big truck to come along at the end of the week and chomp it up.
Lots of  people have been walking/driving round our area looking for good things other people have thrown out. A few Sundays ago my siblings, a few neighbours and I went walking round our street - we found a scooter, a desk, crutches, two walking machines, an almost new ab circle pro machine (the thing you kneel on and swing your hips - apparently good for the abs), two sets of weights (2.5kg and 3.5kg), a mattress on wheels (Spock rode this thing down the street - the lady next door even videoed it!), two suitcases, a safe, another desk, a filing cabinet, and a heap of other things! You should've seen our driveway!!!!! It was a maze of other people's junk. We ended up with a rather massive kerbside pile, and half of it wasn't even ours - mostly because we'd brought stuff in, and Mum had said noooooooo way was that vile thing worming its way into our house!!! So what did we do with it but throw it onto our own lawn!!!
So anyway, my neighbours were just waiting for the truck to come along and chomp up their old toilet.
Except the truck didn't come and chomp it up because someone else came and took it!
'WHAT?????' you say, 'what mad person would pick up a dirty old toilet?'
I'm not even joking. Someone came past my neighbour's house, stopped, and picked up their used, disgusting, dirty old toilet - it was cracked and everything!!!!
My mum reckons they probably thought they could get money from it by handing it in somewhere our something, but I'd rather think that someone out there has a really wacky taste in garden pots...
