Hey everyone, so I visited some friends back home while I was in town. And one friend had their neighbor recently abandon( never coming back) their home. I noticed this had recently become a place for squatters during the night, so i went to inspect the backyard during the day. And guess what i found! I found a 3 tier pond that had been abandoned as well. So knowing that this would all be cleared out by somebody eventually, I grabbed some things for myself. I got a versa gold 210 gph pump, a gigantic pond HOB like filter, a 40+ gallon canister for a pond, and also a pondmaster 950. I had to replace the plugs on a couple of them. But they work like brand new. Great holiday season, and to give back I have the bigger pond stuff to a friend so he can build a 10'x18' pond. Perfect right? how was everyone elses holiday?
 
Trespassing and larceny aren't the first things that come to mind when I hear "amazing Christmas" but congratulations I guess.
 
It was abandoned, but your right...not my property to begin with. If it makes it any better, the house was boarded up and the person who inspects before clearing it out had already come to make sure it was all junk. In my eyes, it was like finding something in a junk yard. 10' tall piles of junk and these were part of it.
 
Technically it wouldnt be larceny because the pumps no longer had a owner correct? And trespassing would have to be if it were somebodys property right, but if they had abandoned it and it had been abandoned for a month or so. and a contractor had come to check it out then it was just going to be thrown away right? I was wrong by doing this, but I did it :/
