My family is a bunch of pack rats and we have a lot of old computer hardware and otherwise that I would like to easily get rid of.
I came up with this idea that I could put a box in the front yard and put the computer equipment in the box and wrapped in plastic bags. Then I could put a sign over the box stating "PLEASE TAKE IT IS FREE". In the past, whenever I have put something on the sidewalk for garbage (besides garbage bags), it usually dissapears before the garbage men arrive.
I guess my concern is, do you think this would make my house a target for robberies. IE: someone notices all the stuff I am willing to give away for free and assumes the stuff inside must be much better and more valuable? Has anyone else done this and used it as a quick way of getting rid of old equipment / items? Is there a better way to go about doing this that does not require much effort on my part?
