One time a set was left by a dumpster nearby. Eventually someone smashed it apart for the yoke, leaving the carcass a short distance away in the grass and a large LIVE CRT on its side next to the dumpster. I figured it was an accident waiting to happen, so I went down there to take care of it. Well, someone came to the dumpster with some picture frames, gave me a dirty look and smashed the glass out of the frames on the inside wall of the dumpster before leaving.
I taped a note to it explaining what I had done and why. I hope that guy saw that too.
