I also believe that any item found should be free to the legal owner of the car. (My definition of legal does not include rebodied cars, I have denied items to folks who have cars with legal issues.)
With over 7000 items here waiting to be claimed for free (even the ones I had to buy), I try & set a good example for everyone.
That is how I feel about it & I am not going to argue with anyone that feels differently, I have better things do do with my time.
If everyone in the hobby thought the way you do, it'd would be a better hobby to be in!
You go "above and beyond" as I would suggest you'd still be doing the hobby a big favor even if you did charge a nominal fee for your expenses never mind stuff you actually paid money for (usually to keep it out of the hands of the unscrupulous!)
