Recently Joan gave us another true story...
The city called me a “public nuisance” in the legal notices in the paper. That would insult some people, but not me. It’s the nature of my business.

I have bought around 50 cars, countless loads of junk, and had lots of things dropped off anonymously so far this year. The car on blocks in the neighbor’s drive, the old mower pil...

"He got around me in lapped traffic, then I just put it on the...
