SO, I'm a landscaper.  I go out to do one of these industrial parks today and notice a rather large pile of junk by one of the buildings.  Didn't think much of it at the time.  As I'm working my guys are checking out the junk pile (they always do this anytime they see garbage).  As I get closer I notice that there appears to be a juke box in there.  So, I go to check it out.  Turns out there are 3 juke boxes in there.  The old kind that play actual records.  There are also several tabletop game machines (I'm guessing the card game types) and lo and behold....an original (appears to be completely original) Sega upright Afterburner arcade game!  Then, I see the sign that says FREE STUFF!
I'm like, HOLY COW!!!! :notworthy: :laugh2: COOL!!!
Then I realize that I am working, and have no way to get the machine home.  None.  Nadda.  I'm screwed.  Someone just handed me a FREE original machine and I CAN"T TAKE IT!!!!  That is SICK  :banghead: :soapbox: :censored:
So after many tears and screams of horror and nasty words, I did the only thing I could think of...  I took off the control panel and took the circuit board out of the machine.  I dunno if the machine worked or not, but it sure looked good on the inside to me.  I absolutely hated to leave it behind......   :hissy:
How is that for a heartbreaking story?
