    A friend of mine used to buy junks to scrap. He got a call once and the caller described a car he was going to junk. The car body is ok except for a dent on the passenger side. When we went to look at it , the dent started at the front bumper and went all the way to the back bumper. Just one of many things to deal with when working with the public!

    Thy're no different to the scum that rob you at knifepoint or assaults you,the courts should make the offence as serious as grand theft auto that way some resitance might affect the thinking of these cockroaches and their buyers.

    On the other note, sad to see the Grand Marquis getting processed, it's such a clean body. The Toyota Tacoma looks like a mid to late 90s model. Popular trucks, hope it gets a new home or as a parts truck! Also sad to see a couple of Bullnose Fords and a squarebody. But if I had to guess, rust.

    Silas, the vintage iron I see on your videos are virtually non existent here in Florida now. That is, unless you have a fat wallet. Being retired, I've been wanting to do one last restoration. I had a 1960 Apache 10 I drove for years. If I lived closer I'd volunteer for work as long as it took to get one. Work ethic may be a dinosaur these days, but I see it is still alive and well with folks like you. I worked in junkyards for years, and your videos take me back to younger days, hot rods, hot days, and hard work.

    It's a different thing when your wife knows you will turn that $10,000 into $20.000 through your business, than to spend $1500 on a truck that will cost another $1500 to get it roadworthy. Love your videos Silas! I went to a local junk yard when I was 14 and wanted to work for the man running the magnet crane. He told me to come back when I was 21. By then I was in the Air Force and he was out of business.

I think this is a great video. It serves to tell people you ARE an honest dealer and you don't and won't deal in dishonesty of any kind. The bad guys won't bother if they think you'll call the police. I'd rather have good repor and a good reputation with police, it just makes life easier. Glad the green school bus found a home. You can't save them all but it's good when you can. Always enjoy seeing what Silas is doing. Stay safe and GOD bless

      It's terrible that these thefts are happening everywhere. I'm from Pennsylvania and a local transportation company that picks up handicap people for appointments had all their catalytic converters stolen off of their vans overnight a few months ago. And sadly where it happened there is no local police only the state police. Even the sheriff's department out here is not allowed to do regular patrol's. They only serve warrants, eviction notices, PFA's and transport prisoners to court

    Silas, you should make an introduction video and have it on the starting page. A video where you once and for all explain your cat policy. That you do not scrap every old car that comes in your way but in reality try to save what you can when many/most scrappers do not. The reason as to why you don't part out cars and sell them piece by piece. That you have a business to run and profits must be made in order to make a living. That you can not save everything for nostalgic reasons and if people even won't pay scrap price you have to make a executive decision. It amazes me that people won't listen and keep on coming with these questions, and most of all that they can be rude saying it.

    It's good to know that you are a standup guy who is worthy of the respect that I'm sure you receive. Now, about that Opel GT...?
