I remember one time I found a visible gas pump at a farm, it was laying in a ditch rusting away. The price $1000+. I asked, why are you leaving this $1000 gas pump laying in a ditch, but yet you have that $150 lawn mower in the shed?

I hate to be the devil's advocate, but, why isn't the pump in the building it is sitting in front of, or even bolted down outside the building?

I don't think anyone deserves to have something stolen from them, but this should be the first concern when leaving something sitting outside that the pickers consider "rusty gold."
