    I just watched to guys throw a singer cabinet, hoping the machine was not there, in the back of the GARBAGE TRUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so bummed that I was not fast enough to save this!! If the machine was in it I am even more bummed!! Why do people do that instead of trying to find it a new home! :shock: :cry: :?:

    The least they could have done is put a "free" sign on it in their driveway. It would have been snatched up before the garbage man got to it! Oh, well, I guess it was theirs to do as they pleased. What a shame though!

    Actually, it would be better to put it at the curb with a price on it. Then it would definitely be taken ... and probably without anyone paying for it.

    I know it's an oldie ... but it is true.
