How do people throw out such good stuff? I can never understand it but then again maybe I have never had that much money. Even though I'm comfortable we were taught never to waste growing up. We don't waste food and we don't waste money.
It's great to see you recycling great stuff like these. That is a quality haul and easy money to sell on.
It's nice you were so concerned about the cat as well. There are always a lot of strays roaming around so it's great to see how much you cared about it.
