Yup, as soon as I saw an older clothes dryer that I thought to be worth saving, I started dragging it. I wouldn't leave it long enough to go home for my dolly, which was fairly nearby. I knew from experience that a scrapper would have it before I got back. I was going to hide it and then get my dolly, but then I was offered help. The rear feet were destroyed from grinding on the concrete, but they're just specialized bolts, gone now.
Hey, it was free.
