Take it home and keep it for when you need it.  Do you know how expensive coffins are?

Might be somebody in it.  I didn't look.

I have to ask... what were you doing there... I know there is a story in this one.

>doing there

Dropping off the coffin as RC has found a way to beat the need for it.

Oh, and dropping off the horse carrige and putting in a bid on the excavator, because well, you kan never have enough of those.

HHH, true enough.  I really *need* an excavator  ...but Louise said no.

>doing there

Looking for cheap aluminum structural materials --a particular size of pipe this time.  BUT this guy runs a unique operation, as he pulls aside "items of interest" (like antiques and collectibles) or stuff that has a good chance of resell at a higher price than he'll get for crushing it.  Most scrapyards will set aside common resale items like I-beams or alloy wheels, but he goes waaaay beyond that and has a good-sized plot of land where he lines stuff up like a flea market --everything from toys & lawnmowers to vehicles & trailers. I'm told that his wife started the flea market because she was seeing antique toys go in the crusher. Anyway, he has a good retail trade now --particularly for lawn tractor parts.
