This may seem like a weird question, but how do I find a junkyard near me and what is the protocol?
Am I allowed to just walk in and start taking things? That seems odd to me.
When my brother totaled his mustang, we went to the collision place where they towed it, so he could get his plates and other valuables from it. But we were surprised that overnight, no one took the radio or anything that he had in there, especially since the windows were open, which leads me to believe people aren't allowed to just stroll in there.
Otherwise, wouldn't people just hang out there all the time waiting for cars to get towed in to see what they could get?
Do you have to pay for anything you take? You can just go into one of these cars and take the parts you want?
I don't know, maybe I'm thinking of it wrong, but I'd love to know how to go junkyardin' and if I should know anything before going.
Thanks!
