I worked regular in South Mississippi and would hit a few yards on the last days of a projects as was just punch list.
So would hit the junk.yards and You Pull It.
Almost every time at the You Pull some one would ask for tools or help.
Since I did not want to loan tools that may be abused or walk away I would help or just take it off for them.
Almost every time the car the parts came off of was nicer than the one they had in the lot they were buying parts to fix thet came in.
Down in the south no rust zone down lower income persons keep stuff on the road way past being expired.
I once had an older lady ask me to help get used super refills out the wiper arms as she was down on her luck money wise.
I had her follow me to the auto parts store and bought her some some new ones and some car stuff and gave her some cash.
You would have thought I gave her a cool million

I miss that job as I liked walking the yards even if just a look see.
