Around 2 months ago I was about to go home from work and noticed a dumpster behind the school (where I work). Turned out they were clearing out the old studio and engineering room and they had tossed 6 Sony BVM monitors in the dumpster. I immediately ran to one of my co-workers who makes arcade cabinets and we saved them all. Unfortunately some of them had quite some damage because they were just thrown on top of each other but luckily they were all still working. Boy was I angry at the guy who decided to throw them away.
