Thieves Target Transfer Stations

Officials at transfer stations in northern Idaho say they've been targeted in recent weeks by thieves seeking valuable metals and other goods. Roger Saterfiel with Kootenai County Solid Waste told the Coeur d'Alene Press that employees at one transfer station found that about $650 worth of brass and copper had been stolen, along with several televisions. In the last two months, other transfer stations in Post Falls and Coeur d'Alene have seen similar thefts/Fox12. More here.

Question: Have you ever Dumpster-dived? Or grabbed something you wanted from the trash at a transfer station?
